Look at my photos yesterday at east mids airport ------ you should expect that, there is no way I would of got parked in the cage and then also would of got stuck in a 400+ car jam to leave
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
Yeh, expecting it to be busy there, could do a "drive by the fly by " :lol....we have no luck there we will go straight to lugershall, I know of a farm track thats very close to the turning point

must be a good reason for holding back the times,going to try and view it twice with my son,bit of a challenge for my son,timing and route planning,got to get him away from his X-STATION and show him theres more exciting things in real life ........got him watching the website for times today,will post as soon as i know...[size=78%] [/size]
Note to Red...........borrow your sons x-station and you could actually fly an Apache helicopter....or switch helicopters and be a door gunner at the press of a button instead of all of this twittering about and crowds and strife.....a few spliffs and a couple of whiskys and you can then be flying whilst flying whilst shooting stuff...all from the comfort of home.......how does this not appeal???? :lol
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike

Although these fellas managed to get a little closer :lol
Shoved my bike right next to them just see it in the bottom of the picture as the road was solid both sides --no chance turning up that late in the car

Got to luggershall just in time, vulcan was early and cut the corner, was driving down the lane to get to the farm track and there it was.....emergency stop jump out and get my second "spot"of the day ....carried on down to the farm track where the turning point was to be greeted by a dozen or so disappointed faces, made the effort to walk down a very muddy track only to miss out ........had to show them my pictures from north weald to cheer them up
all the pictures I post on here are from my phone, I used my fujifilm today, last time I had trouble posting from the camerz but will try later, got two good piccies from many that I took....
a good day and well worth the effort, even my x-station addicted son was impressed. ?..one nil to XH558 :thumbup

I'm off to Rutland with some friends and their children, supposed to travel in their car although with the weather looking good it maybe my last chance to have a comfortable run with the lid down on the Eunos so may take it anyway.
I will be on my bike at the spot I marked in the picture on the 1st page ------- come and say hello

If you were wearing a fluorescent green/yellow textile jacket I think I saw you twice but both times on the road, sure it was you unless there are several black fazers sans the grabrail.
Great view of the aircraft from our vantage point
We got lucky at 3.28pm Glocester airport,came right over our head and down the runway line,,never got a picture though, my camera went into standby power save,takes 4 seconds to wake up,,damn,,lol
The boy had his hands on his ears shouting "too loud" "too loud",haha,, it sure is loud.
