Default Big tin triangle and the REDS

Spent an enjoyable day at Dawlish Airshow a small English seaside resort that hosts a small airshow once a year which offers great photo's from the nearby hill, a big bonus this year was them getting the Vulcan plus also the Red Arrows flying in formation with her.

Great shots, the wing vortices creating a light distorsion at the hunter's tips are impressive!

Nice shots of the Red Arrows.

I wish the Canadian Gov't would get off its ass and find a similar replacement for the Snowbirds CT114's.

Just love that Vulcan. Saw one at an airshow many moons ago and the pilot really gave it laldy banking to 90 and beyond. I suspect that this one is being flown more sedately. Is that the case?

Sort of John...then sort of not - watch this vid of it taking off at RIAT this year...

Lovely aeroplane...is parked right outside my office for the season - worth going to work for!

Yeah, that one really stood out for me too (and not JUST because it's a Hunter )

Exellent shots Lozza! I flew my Boomerang in a big airshow in Helsinki recently and this is the best shot got from there...a bit more noise than what the Reds! Your photographing post on a hill was exellent.
And I´m very happy to see the Vulcan in the air again...seems its been a bit hard to keep her flying. Quite a display! I wonder what they´ll do next year...

Lozza,

Awesome photos mate! Thank you for posting.

That hawk looks awesome! Love the scheme.

Do you make your photos available for private use under any circumstances?

Kind regards,

Craig.

Wow, phenomenal shots! Amazing that you were able to take them all from the ground (even on a hill). The angle of the crossover picture makes it spectaular! You must have a great lens (and talent).

Another spectacular take-off by the Vulcan...

Not often you see a 50 year old 4-engined Cold War bomber doing this sort of thing!
