Eastbourne Air Show

For many photographers the main attraction of the Eastbourne show is the opportunity to shoot down on from Beachy Head on such aircraft as arrive/depart the display line from the west. 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.

 

Nice to see lanc up and flying, sadly missed Bournemouth due to weather. Stunning pictures

 

Theres only one thing better than 1 lanc, thats 3 , if Vera can make another trip once the other Lanc flys, oh and add a Shackleton for good measure

 

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.
