I was at Farnborough for the airshow so I thought I'd share a few of my pictures. The poor light due to cloud cover has ruined a few of the photos of the lancaster & spitfire display If I find something worth posting from that I'll add it later.

The A380 was there again







And it was being chucked around again I still can't believe that such a large & heavy plane can handle like that.





then it was the Eurofighters turn I like this alot!









Then the red arrows arrived.





I can't remember what these were called but they put on a really good display.



Then the Vulcan took to the skies This thing is huge and the noise it makes is amazing.







I really liked this old plane and it was also thrown around alot.





I think this was the Catalina



And finally the red arrows display.









Sorry if I got any of the names wrong, I'm not really into planes and I don't have access to the program at the moment.

 

awesome

 

used to fookin love going to that airshow!
they Drag the Vulcan out sometimes when you are at brunters, and give it a rev up. lol

see it ripping the grass out the floor and all sorts lol.

 

excellent pics mate, I keep meaning to go to this, mabe next year.

 

It's every 2 years Get yourself there in 2010

 

SOme good pics there

 

bugger

 

I was there yesterday aswell, Loved it....

I do have a soft spot for planes, Don't know why, they just fascinate me.


The 'old plane' is a DC-6, belongs to Air Atlantic but in the British Eagle colours.

The little display team, are Extras, and that sea plane is a Catalina

 

Quality pics those, that 380 is just wrong..

 

I should have known a DC6 shouldn't I I thought the other one was the Catalina. Thanks for clearing that up

 

Gutted you got the Vulcan. Went to Waddington on the Sunday...it had electrical faults so couldnt fly....but it did an "abandoned take off" wish Id of gone on the saturday to see it fly with the Lancaster.

Very nice pictures there...The eurofighter is bloomin great fun to watch...At Waddington they had this French "Mirage" and that was spectacular too!

Matt

You are lucky living in Farnborough. Not only is it a nice area but you get to avoid the traffic I was lucky enough to borrow a mates driveway this year & get a taxi in and out. It was much easier than using that awful carpark they lay on, last time it took me an hour just to exit the car park! taxi is much easier.

 

Who you winking at

You got any good plane pics lad?

 

nah mate the traffic is a joke i am lucky that i have a motorbike to use or i would have to allow an extra 40 mins just to get to work in alershot (7miles away)

went over the m3 about 18:30 on sunday and it was backing up to jct 4a


the air show is cool tho and get to see most of the planes for free

 

Would of been worth the trip just to see and hear the Vulcan fly again, awesome plane.

Steve.

 

Some fantastic pictures there. I was up camping next to Inverness reciently and was woken by the Red Arrows on thier practice runs, thier control is simply amazing!

 

Great pics

I didn't think they were up to much until I saw the control they have and how close they get to each other. Amazing and very cool to watch
