The Canberra got sorted that morning, just the one Lightning (928) and no jet blast from the Nimrod this year (unlike two years ago), they just blasted the plastic barriers into the trees instead.
I always forget just how bloody loud the VC10 was (but then your are bloody close to them all)
A full days set to, takes a bit longer to fire the big aircraft up so some waiting occasionally but, pretty non stop.
At £20 a head and kids go free, what's not to like (the weather was kind to) and they hold it down the bottom end away from the cars to so you have trees giving a better background for photos.
Dad goes down on a Sunday every few weeks to show people around and was saying the Hunter boys are running out of start cartridges so it was good it went first (the problem engine on the Canberra took three shots).
