I’ve had some films developed from Sunday and here is one shot that goes some way to demonstrating the power of these machines.

Air Show

July 19th, 2004 — 4:58pm

Some shots from the airshow on Sunday. We had great seats in the ‘Friends of the Royal International Air Tattoo’ grandstand. The grandstand was about as close to the runway as you could get without running the risks of burns or permanent deafening. We got to see all sorts of aircraft perform displays, the military craft such as the F15 Tomcat being highlights. We also got a good performance from the Red Arrows who I’ve wanted to see for a long time. All in all a good day out.

Frances & Merv

We have hired a car this weekend so we can go to the Royal International Air Tattoo. Today we took advantage of the extra travel option and went to Heathrow to meet Jenny and greet Frances & Mervyn when they arrived from Dubai. And here they are.

Look who we found at Heathrow today.
