Friday
was a grey and wet day, though
not quite as bad as forecast
as predicted with conditions
just good enough for most of
the displays to rehearse as
well as the last few arrivals.
Without doubt, the highlight
of Friday's displays was the
Spanish EF-18 Hornet display
which was extremely tight and
noisey. Another good news story
was the Vulcan which made it
to Fairford despite poor weather
at Yeovilton which delayed it's
departure and unfortunatly led
to the cancellation of a special
flypast with a pair of VC-10's
from nearby RAF Brize Norton.
Sadly it would appear there
have been a number of further
cancellation, not least the
USAF C-17A due for the flying
display. Having sid that, the
flying display is looking very
good indeed with a number of
good displays and a few surprises.
Though the arrivals have finished,
we been putting in the occasion
tweet so if you are stuck at
home, keep an eye on
our live
text feed!
