Great shots Tweek. That close up of the Vulcan is terrific !

I'm not sure I understand the rationale behind a Seaking having both camouflage and Dayglo, however. Bit like ordering a diet coke with a double cheeseburger.

Good point. Never really thought of it that way, before! A bit like the old Italian Fiat G91s really. I'm guessing that it's just easier to paint a few high vis markings over a standard scheme than it is to totally repaint an airframe designated for things like training and SAR. :dunno:

But thanks for the kind words everyone. There's more on my Flickr page (as in my signature) if you're interested.

Nice photos, Adam. Thanks for posting.
I was there too, near the 'Breitling' markee at the far right of the airfield - I'll try and post some piccies.
Also, enjoyed browsing your Flickr photos.

Cheers

Kevin

Pete Teichmann in the P40, Al Pinner in the BBMF Spit and Anthony Hodgeson in the Tr.IX all gave the best fighter displays.
Martin Withers gave a superbly nice steady show(compared to Dave Thomas' VDF displays)in '558.

Really good to see and hear her back where she belongs.

Great pictures Adam,Pete in the P40(still in her Tuskegee colours from filming in France)is a particular of mine.
