The feed's pretty good, the commentary for the Wing Walkers is currently very entertaining!

Anybody know the best radio frequencies for listening to the in-cockpit chatter?

One of the best airshows I have ever been at, standing at the end of the pier and two BF108s and two Hurricanes came screaming past just about level in a tail chase. Fantastic.

It was a bit windy today. I was at the end of the pier when the BBMF did their display. I liked the Hurricane solo display. After that their wasn't anything that I thought was intresting so I went home.

A few pictures from the day here....

Cracking weather... may be a tad burnt tomorrow I suspect as it was VERY windy @ Beachy Head!

Anyone know what the Police Chopper was doing below the cliffs @ Beach Head.... He descenced below the cliffs which made for a very good photo op ( I am sure the pilot had NEVER had so many lenses pointed at him at once!) he descended down to the cliffs by the / a lighthouse, and seemeded to be hovering for ages. It re-appeared, flew about 100 metres out to sea and back in... must have been messing around there for a good 20 / 30 minutes. Would be surprised if it was a cliff rescue as there was nothing at the top of the cliffs. No idea which force, so cannot check on line. Have a pic @ home which I can upload if need be.

The Police helicopter belongs to Sussex Police and it's based at Shoreham Airport. The helicopter was looking for a missing person. They didn't find the person. I found out via twitter.

Yesterday was the best day weather wise. It was also very windy at the end of the peir, so I stood opposite Harry Ramsdens.
