Unfortunately this year the display director was over cautious in his interpretation of the CAA rules and apart from two military exhibits, the rest gave us such a wide berth that photography was pointless unless you had 1000mm plus.
    So here's the BBMF and the sea Vixen.

    It was far better to be out at sea, went in the yacht this year and anchored just west of pier seaward of the designated clearway along the beach. Just about calm enough. Had a fantastic afternoon with nearly everything flying low over and around us but we did remark not many went along to the Head. Enjoyed all the vintage jets and the Mustangs howling first approach over our mast was unexpected. Am a bit spoilt for Spitfires as we get the 2 seater one up from Goodwood overhead doing loops with a lucky punter on board nearly every afternoon.
