Some great shots there, particularly like the No.2 and No.4 No.4 looks like it was taken from another aircraft at altitude!

I live not too far away from Waddington and was expecting to see some of the aircraft fly over the town on their way to/from the show (usually do) but this year - nothing!!

What no pictures of the Vulcan on it's 1st public display flight after restoration?

I have a beut with the sun glinting off the wing and cockpit just as it became airborne after the rain stopped.

Sorry can't post here as I don't subscribe to flikr unless there is another way to get it onto this site.

Doesn't have to be Flickr, click here for Gigafiles ; others use photobucket, imageshack, putfile, you can also link from Fotopic but they don't make it as easy as some of the others.

Thanks for the kind comments! Yes 2 & 5 are the Vulcan...

After the rain stopped it turned into a lovely sunny afternoon. First time I've tried photographing aircraft and found it challenging to say the least!
