I am up in Southwold this weekend. Depending on weather I may pop in on the way home.

Would love to have seen some of bentwaters original aircraft there

Some nice A10's would have been good

Rubbish traffic management aside, it was a great airshow. A small selection of shots are at:

Oops, thanks for that. Now corrected to a Seafire, brought in at the last minute as the B52 was grounded by bad weather in the Netherlands (or somewhere similiar)

As you can tell, I'm no aviation expert
