Stonking set Dan, great to get the display shots (in crisper light than a summer airshow). All bookended by the excellent first 2 and last 4 images, well done.

As an aside, I've had it with QRA jets getting really close to you on that taxiway head on you hope there is no accidental missile release hey?!

Really enjoyed seeing these piccies esp as I am stuck indoors with Covid. So thank you for posting
A really trivial question here, just wondered why the display `phoon had only one dummy missile slung underneath. Wouldn`t they want the aircraft to be better balanced as a display aircraft.
thanks
