Were you standing on the A331? Too cheap to pay to watch? 
I must admit I was thinking of doing this. I go along the A331 every day to and from work and have seen a few fly over.

I must have been just to your left! I had such a great day. Never been that close to the planes at an airshow.

Was a cracking day only thing that could have possibly made it better would have been seeing the vulcan. Ah well I will catch it again soon

That is one of BAe's development aircraft IPA5. The air-show is a massive sales front for companies so as they are so actively seeking export sales they sent along that one with three drop tanks and four Paveway 2 laser guided bombs to demonstrate it's capabilities whilst fully laden a few ton of stores on board. The bombs are inert practice ones btw!
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Traffic getting into the car parks was crazy, ended up missing the Red Arrows display and the B-52 flypast!  I was surprised the Red Arrows were on so early, usually save them till last.
Anyway, not having the best camera in the world I knew I wouldn't get any decent pics so opted for vids instead. Here's one I did actually manage to get of the red arrows as they departed:

I'll post up more when I can upload them, got quite a nice one of the Lancaster.

Likewise, missed the red arrows and the start of the A380 taking off due to parking but the arrows did do some flybys over the carpark which was impressive. Shame about the Vulcan not flying (heard it was a brake issue) and i was hoping the F22 would be out but apparently that was only for the trade on Mon/Tue Good day though, even if it got a little boring with the Spitfire/Hurrican/Chipmonk displays!

Impressive aircraft but after 20/30mins of the same flybys it started to get a little dull! The Typhoon picked things up though. I managed to stand pretty much parallel to it as it throttled up for take off, what a noise!! The ground actually shook when the afterburners ignited
