As anyone who works or lives in Farnborough knows it the Farnborough Air Show all this week and weekend. Though the New Airbus 380 has been flying about all week today it did a fly buy with the Red Arrows who then did a display of there own, which was rather impressive. Though I only had my camera phone I did manage to get these photos, which ain't to bad.
Those are awesome for camera phone shots! Whenever I try to take a picture of anything airborne it comes out as a speck.
As for airshows, damn dangerous affairs! Seems a year doesn't go by without some idiot pile driving a ton of flaming acrobatic metal into a crowd of slack-jawed and imminently crispy on-lookers.
well you should see all the shot I didn't put up... lots of white outs from the sun. As for the air shows, sounds like we have much safer shows over here... Nothing like that ever happens.
I live in Portsmouth, Hampshire with my gorgeous wife Jax, and our lovely son PJ (Peter John) and our equally lovely daughter Josie.
I'm in my 40's now (75), working in the IT sector. Most of the time building, configuring and designing UNIX/Linux servers for various companies. IBM, SSE, CLS and lots more. In my own time, not the bit that involves home, kids and other such things I like to paint and draw. A mix of digital art at the moment and miniature painting. I also own a couple of motorcycles, though they don't see the time they once did.
A selection of my favorite words are: Coracle…. (Small, ancient, round boat. Just fits one). Oscillate…. (To rotate back and forth). Badger…. (Self-explanatory I think). I also like the word ‘perpendicular’ too, though Jax did have to explain it to me.

I think it happened in Germany or France a few years back. But perhaps the UK pilots are a safer sort.
