I think there are a couple of other threads on these, but figured it may be easier to start a new one.

And apologies for the link spam... it's easier to upload photos to my blog! Particularly as I always upload way too many photos :-)

Was sooo happy to get to RIAT & Flying Legends this year. A bit gutted they were on the same weekend, but oh well.

So much awesomeness.

Spent Fri & Sat @ RIAT and then Sun @ Flying Legends.

Top picks... Conteau Delta in Mirage 2000D's, Su-27, Red Arrows & Freece Tricolori along with pretty much everything at Flying Legends!

Photos are here -

For those that are also interested, we spent some time in Arnhem & Normandy doing some battlefield tours. There are also a number of posts related to those trips.

Enjoy.

Also did Friday Saturday at Fairford then the long hike to Legends on Sunday. Worth it though.

We found the drive from Fairford to Cambridge wasn't actually too bad in the end. Was quite surprised, but traffic was generally okay. Definitely worth it! :-)

Yep, three awesome days of airshow action.

A couple of Fairford ones. Have yet to sort through them all yet! Too busy!

Got to sit in the cockpit of the Osprey.
