We both managed to go on Saturday to Fairford's 2009 airshow & the weather held to give us a very good show & a slight case of sunburn. The static display was well set out allowing plenty of room to walk round. Being now an "all ticket" event it did not seem to lower the crowds & the planning of the early bird car parks meant that no-one got stuck getting on & off the fields.
Now using a Panasonic DMC-FZ28 & a Fuji S5600 it allowed us both to take some good flying shots as well as our usual static ones & some are below. Special thanks go to the Harrier boys for allowing us, after seeing my wifes now infamous "harrier jacket", a close up tour & talk about the harrier. We especially appreciated their time when we found out there was to be no actual display bar a fly past later on that day. Thanks also to the 711 S.O. squadron for the chat we had with the MC130 Talon team.
The pictures are compressed & re-sized from the originals, but if any of the aircrews want full size versions then please drop us an email & we can arrange transfer of them.
