I cant tell from that picture since the engines are hidden, but that looks suspiciously like the MR4 nimrod. Have BAE broken their new toy out for this show?

Yes it was the MRA.4.
As for Farnborough it's just a shame their display minima is so high! Renders smaller stuff impactless! I doubt I'd have enough mm for close up stuff there (barring the bigger stuff)!

The A340+A380 shot is interesting. 8)

I got a couple of A340 and A380 shots like that, but none of them came out very sharp.....didnt help that it was pouring down, and I was wiping my camera every 20 seconds.

Nice shots Mic, it was very difficult to get pics with all that rain. What did you think of the A-340 display, I thought it was excellent!

The A340 display was good, especially the take off, and I was in a perfect position for the taxiing out and landing, but I still preferred the A380.
