A most excellent show - a bit of everything for everyone I think. Dogz representation provided by Blubear, Fenrir and myself along with Chris' housemate - Chris! As you might expect this caused occasional confusion. I therefore suggest that the other Chris be awarded honorary Dog(z) status for putting up with the wittering. He likes helicopters but some things can't be helped...
So first of all we had some gliders. Given that gliders were an important component of the invasion and as the commentator reminded us several times that there are no Horsas,Hamilcars or the other one (I forgot) in airworthy condition we had some random gliderage.
Then two lovely smooth displays by the BBMF's Spitfire PRXIX and Dakota III
Then things started to get noisy with a brilliant 'Heritage Pair' of the PRXIX and a Eurofighter Typhoon appropriately marked with invasion stripes for this year.
Before they got really noisy with one of the most exuberant solo displays I have ever seen from the Tiffie - It really had the lot finishing with a vertical twisting climb (with reheat) taking the aircraft up 8000 feet in about 10 seconds. Sadly no pictures of that bit as I was too busy watching, completely mesmerised.
And my personal favourite;
Installment the second
Spitty and Buchon hide and seek amongst the clouds
Briiliant display of formation aerobatics from 'Frankie' and '434
Apache!
French team putting the Reds to shame - no, seriously!
