After you left Sea King HAR.3A XZ594/J flew it's demo. The Puma departed after the show about half 2 and the reds about 3. The weather was so nice after the demo's finished.. ahaa.
Photos soon.

Hands up who was soaked?

Seems Lossie was at the back of the queue for attendees in comparison to other F&F days. Where were the RAF displays one usually finds in the hangers. I'm afraid I thought it was poor in comparison to previous years.

Superb display from the Typhoon made up for the lack of others.

Had the oppurtunity of seeing the reds again as they left right over my house in Elgin.
