Thanks Nick, It was great meeting you too.by Woolgar
I am glad I was not the only one who found it a little emotional, but then again, it would have been difficult not to be after such a display in such a location at such a time.
I was surprised however how many people started leaving after the first fly past ! Some strange people around.
I stayed until the very last Spit touched down and we clapped everyone of them as they came into to land. I really had to sit in my car for 10 minutes afterwards to compose myself and take in what I had just witnessed. A truly momentous occasion, I really did not think it would have had such an affect on me !
Look forward to the pictures !
Cheers
Some pics from the day
Great pictures Nick ! Two suspicious looking characters there in the sunglasses ! haha
Was a superb day, wouldn't have missed it for the world
Cheers
Sorry i missed you guys , left my phone in the car and was one of those parked miles away in the field !! But your right it was a fabulous day , the Aerostars display was also a highlight but you just can't beat the sound of those Merlins !!

I also found the display by the Chinook quite impressive to say the least ! I really was not aware they were capable of such maneuvers !!
Your right the way he was making it stand on end and then drop away was very impressive , there were some great aircraft but lots of superb flying skills on display as well !!

Yes, to be honest I saw you too Paul, you were standing over towards the railings by Sally B, I was going to come over and say Hello, I remembered you from Arnhem, but I didn't want to impose !!!
Yes I agree, the pilots are amazing, the guy in the little Gyrocopter was superb, the way he threw that little thing around, overall was a great day all round
