Red Arrows

On an ordinary news site they displayed all this year's Red Arrows events, but Fairford was not listed. Was this just a mistake on their part?

Re: Air Day 2023

I am surprised with obviously the expert staff that AHA had that somebody within the firm hasn't taking up the mantle and started a new business of their own running events hopefully to include future airshows.

Re: Wildcats over M5 Bridgwater, Fri 7th October

Don't know any of the numbers, but I live on the edge of Bridgwater not that far from the M5 and we often get Wildcats flying over. Some really high but others a little bit lower.

Nice set of shots, I like most of them apart from the single boat shot. Too much sky for my liking, would have preferred shot from a lower angle and the boat being more of a main subject (my opinion only).
