Arr a pleasant couple of hours. The back lanes are drying out so I managed to get a nice dust plum from the back of the car.
Until I stopped that is. Then the plume enveloped me.


A lazy short walk with the old dog out in the hazy sunshine that was nicely rounded off by a private air display as one of the local Jags was practising some cool manoeuvres. I especially liked the slow vertical climb and I’m sure he did a roll just for me.
A shame the anoraks standing around at the end of the runway did not get such a good view as I did.

Anybody else had a good day.?

Grr, still in work due to time difference between here and California and US lawyers not being able to agree anything without us holding their hand.

Roll on some sweet driving tomorrow.

bit of a plane anorak myself. Enjoy a spirited drive to watch those with more talent and skill than myself. Where is a good place to catch this action, and is it every day?

Sadly no. Something of a swan song I’m afraid.
The station is RAF Coltishall and it’s is due to close soon.
I expect I was lucky to catch a practice for some sort of ceremony. There has been a few lately as some of the Jag squadrons are wound up.
Shame really as a youngster I would go and watch the Lightning’s landing.

Ah well - thanks anyway.

Apparently our new air force will consist of huge sheets of paper - to be folded in the correct manner during times of emergency.
