Air show at RAF Leuchars

September 10th, 2006 Posted in Transport, Wandering

A while since I have updated but I have got some lovely pictures of aeroplanes to show. The last post I made here was also about planes from an air show, but this was a real air show and involved many many hours of driving to get there from Lancaster. The Red ArrowsThe previous air show was just a freebie and whetted my apetite. On searching so late in the year Leuchars was the only real show left and I’m very glad we went, even if I have got sunburnt to a frazzle.

A few of the attractions canceled at the last minute, but it meant we got double helpings of some of the most entertaining, such as the Eurofighter Typhoon. I sadly didn’t manage to get a good photos of that but I did get some lovely picture of the Red Arrows who were displaying for the 4000th time ever. Lancaster and Hurricane

The Battle of Britain memorial flight was lovely too. Interestingly back in Lancaster they have just flown around outside my window as well. some display in Morecambe apparently. A nice surprise! Back to the air show there was a flypast by a Nimrod from RAF Kinloss which was quite touching given the timing.

I’ve also added some more photos to the gallery in the mean time, but it’s not really any spectacular photography, just photos of my new Mac Pro computer. It’s very shiny.
