Best ever visitors to Bristol!

What a pleasure seeing this lot at your local :)

Superb formation takeoff as usual, before displaying over Ashton Court (visible, but out of photographing range from the airport). Finally they returned and treated the rather large crowd of spotters to a couple of low passes and a break to land.....lovely  8-) 8-)

I think they annoyed a First Choice 757 pilot who was left waiting at the hold for 15 minutes, but hey ;)  :P

Now that makes sense as to why they passed over my gaff 3 hours ago.

My one and only airshow of the year unfortunately  :( ;D

I think someone messed up in the 4th shot  :P

Naa really nice shots. Last time I saw them was in February at Scampton. Nearly, nearly got a private display... bloody British weather.

If I saw them at my local I'd wonder how they got through the door.  :P ;D
