Ha ha ha - I was just reminiscing that with a colleague I remember that quite clearly as I had just pulled up at my folks house in Blackwater when the bugger screamed overhead pretty dam low. Scared the crap out of me  For the next few weeks I shall mostly be parking on the roof of my company car park, right at the end of the runway

Think that they arrived Sunday ... Friend who works at Farnbourgh has a facebook pic of them sat on the bizjet apron taken Sunday.

OK - not being one who spends much time looking over airport fences anymore, this was my first sighting.

Last year I went over a few days before the show and watched some of them flying from that pub by the runway, when will they be doing that this year?

Pretty sure it was as got a pretty good view as it cannoned over my office only a few hundred feet up... at full throttle... inverted Very entertaining little display... he seems to like full throttle silly low fly pasts....

Definitely that - and in those colours too. It made a "Vulcanish" howl type sound when it throttled back right over my house.

Working right next to the Old Airship hanger we got a reasonably  good close up view as he flipped aobut all over the place. His full throtle inverted pass flew right over the center of out buildings, as did his low speed nose high pass, which was extremely impressive.
