A nice variety of aircraft came in during the day, most of them took the effort of using the taxitrack close to the crowds.

Who would have ever figured German Tornado's to become the shows highlight? Very happy with this one and I was in a great position for a nice couple of pictures when it entered the static line.

The A.400 had to be pulled trough the crowd line, so we had to get out of the way.

Thanks for sharing these with us, some great shots. It's also one of my favourite bases, I've attended many events there over many years.

100% you had a good time and so have I over the years one of the best bases, thanks to all the members of the BAF who have made my time previously so enjoyable.
