Hi all,
For anybody interested, I have uploaded a selection of photographs taken at Duxford's Centenary of Flight Airshow on Saturday.

The undoubted star of the show must be "Springbok 100", the South Africian 747-400.

Only one word - AWESOME

Unfortunately, the 3 pictures that I managed to capture with my digital camera (plus the fact that everyone in front of me, decided on doing only half a "Mexican Wave" - stood up at the crucial time and then didn't sit down again) don't really do the display any credit.

How the pilots managed to keep such a large airecraft within the boundaries of the airfield.........

In fact, I would go as far as saying that that 7 minute display must be close to be the undisputed champion of displays for this year.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Tony
