Looks a brilliant day out Simon, I used to go to Finningley. I'm working that weekend - so any photos you take would love to see them  :)

Ill try and get some

Vulcan is doing a flyover so worth it just for that.

Got another in August, going for a long weekend to Eastbourne for that.

Vulcan did Waddington this year, highlight of the show for me.
When I finally locate my lead to download the camera pictures I will stick some up

Did anyone else see the low flying old plane that came over yesterday - it had 3 white stripes at the back which I think may be invasion stripes - looked on the net but couldn't find a photo of one like it though

I heard  a plane yesterday and went outside but couldn't see it. It may have been a C47 Dakota.

As far as air shows go, I prefer to go to one at an airfield where there's a static display to wander round between flyovers - must get to one this summer, just to see (and hear) the Vulcan.

OC and BD the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight use a Dakota as their support plane. It may well have been that
