Not bad for a night flying week Mark.
Shall be on parade tomorrow and hope for at least a repeat of what you saw.
Did that 29 Sqdn "BC" do the decent thing with his performance take off - i.e. rotate to the vertical for tax payers entertainment ?

Left hand jet may be black, or may just be light. Lots of them at moment are back to black when on route to paint shop for respray/repaint.

the flaps and canopy and rudder are all still grey though...
Thanks for that, it looks black in the photo - I just thought the light was playing tricks !

Why's it black - does anyone know, which one is it anyway ? :S

They are black because they are in for there majors. I think there's 3 or 4 of them at the minute.
