Posted: Mon Sep 18, 2006 6:19 pmThanks for the comments. It was a good show as usual but not the best conditions for decent photos. These are about the best I got all day. I wasn't alone & some of the pros didn't bother taking photos at all. We were lucky with the weather but a lot of the participating aircraft couldn't take off from their home airfields.
Only one of the Matadors made it on the Saturday so Paul Bonhomme did a solo display. (I think his partner Steve Jones was somewhere over the Atlantic doing his day job. They're both BA 747 captains.) Paul won the award for the best display of the weekend. I've seen the Matadors several times & consider them among the best aerobatic duos I've ever seen.
