Seasons Greeting everyone,

It's been a while since I've posted on the forums, a certain pandemic preventing travel and changes in my personal life kept me away from international travel. I had the Bahrain show on my radar from previous years, while a small event it does offer some really nice items and is one of the more accessible shows from the gulf region. With a unique backdrop and hopefully guaranteed weather four days were spent in and around the show and it turned out to be a great event, with brilliant access and opportunities.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year by Jonathan Haylock, on Flickr

A Happy and Safe Christmas and New Year to you and your families.

Very nice

Thanks for sharing these, a lot of interesting types there, several of which we're unlikely to see in the UK.

Very nice.

Thanks for posting.

That's a very nice set and some very interesting types and air arms! Thank you for sharing.

I'm thinking the variety & quality of your images shown here more than justify your effort in visiting this event.
Very impressed by your shots & your tenacity in attending the Show.

Now these are just awesome, big thanks for posting them for us to see,

To quote someone on a certain t.v. programme FAB U LOUS

JonoUK. Thankyou for posting the images. Can I ask for your views / review of the BIAS event.
Were you part of a media or other pre arranged group visit ?
If not were all these images obtained as part of the normal airshow on public days.
Did you visit any other aviation sites, military or civil airfields, if so what was the attitude of locals to photography ?
How many days was the BIAS and do you know if it is an annual event ?
Many thanks Paul

Wow. A superb set of crisp photos.

Fantastic set - really nice.

Thanks for sharing.

Kev

Great selection of shots - I especially like the sunset shot of the Mountain Home crew. The Saudi Typhoon in the digital camo is also very smart.

Superb..

Excellent, really enjoyed those..

Brilliant set! Thanks for posting.

Very nice pictures thanks for posting, hard to pick a fav.

All stunning but loving the Mirage and JF-17 shots in particular.
