Thanks Shital! It was funny to see the seagull get into the shot. Thankfully, they weren’t anywhere near the planes.

Great photos Mark! I went to the Air Show last year and it was fab.

Thanks! I usually try to watch it on the Friday beforehand. That’s when they do their practice sessions and it’s much less crowded on the lakefront. It definitely is fun to watch.

Great photos Mark. That last one is worthy of a poster print, maybe a metallic print. Truly stunning!

Thanks, John! The last one is definitely one of my favourites and, yes, I think I should get it printed.

What you have done with colour, texture and composition! And with a moving subject. So good!

Thanks, Marcello! I think the last four are my favourites as they show off the colours from the lingering smoke trails.

Nicely done! We see them here over Swansea Bay each year. It is always great.... weather permitting. Enjoy your long weekend!

Thanks, Søren. Yes, “weather permitting”. The original forecast here was for rain this weekend which would have cancelled the show but we have blue skies and sunshine instead. Perfect!

I got stung on the lip by a wasp a couple of weeks ago. My first wasp sting in 30 years. This is about the same amount of time since I saw the Red Arrows. I would be very curious to see them again as an adult.

They are just as good as they’ve always been. I think you’d be impressed.
