Thank you! It's not the best spot, you're too underneath the aircraft imo, but love the first myself so the gamble paid off!

Hi all, made the trip to Fairford Sunday 3/6 and managed to catch the pair of B-1s returning on Monday 4/6. I was woken up at 0600 to the most almighty sound of them taking off! Not the greatest photos, weather was dull as anything, but so glad to have caught them. I'd also like to thank everybody w...

Merlin ZH857 seems to have dropped into Altcar, not sure if this is where they are all based though.

Merlin ZJ132 is heading West towards Altcar now.

According to the Chinook Display Team page they're still on for RIAT, unless I missed something.

Nicely caught, watched her perform a few circuits from the Wirral side. Always great to see.

Shaping up to be a brilliant show, just need the GR4s back now! I miss those.

I use a motorcycle jump starter that doubles as a USB charging device, holds a lot of power and will do a good 2-3 days of charging devices. It's a DB Power DJS40 but there are cheaper alternatives just for charging devices.

According to the press release for the F-22 the display pilot is from Langley, so could be.

Brilliant news! Didn't get to RIAT last year so it will be good to see the F-16 display.

This will be my third year at RIAT but I've booked two nights at the above camp site, no idea what it's going to be like but like others have said arrive early to the show! I'm going on my motorbike this year so only taking essentials, should be fun!

Winners all round.

Great stuff, I was almost going to make the huge journey down there. Last one is spectacular.

Brilliant shots, I'm very jealous as I spent my first day in the loop on Monday and only got Hawks... Typical.

Incoming! Great shot.

I would have been happy with the scenic shots myself. Great catches.

Brilliant shots, you're lucky!

Lots of action going on there, thanks for sharing these great action shots.

Paul Heasman's timelapse sequence on Flickr http://www.flickr.co...N08/9720440496/ shows two ships standing off Valley for at least 6 hours yesterday, presumably in support of the Ex CHAMELEON PJEs. In the absence of an AIS feed from the west coast of Anglesey, can anybody identify them? (last time...

Gutted I couldn't get there today. Great photos!

They do look brilliant in the grey scheme, great stuff.
