Well just got in from the UK's second biggest static air show and one of the worlds biggest trade aviation shows.
The show started on Monday and has been on since then, Monday - Friday being for the trade only.
There was 4 HUGE tents housing all the trade stands, as well as companies own buildings which they have built on the airbase site.
There was a good flying disply which started at 12:30 with the Red Arrows, however i was pretty disapointed with the small static display compared to main airshow of the year. Fairford.
One thing that suprised me as soon as i got into the show was the amount of cars around, There was a whole tent just for cars, and car products.
Anyhow i wont bore you with what the show was like anymore as most of you HATE planes But ill give you a link to the pics if you wish to have a look,
You will have to excuse my photo taking skills as im still very much just a point and shoot person, however i am extremly pleased with my new camera!
A few plane pics
Thats just a few, i took 136 in total, and they can all be found here
