Bournemouth Air Festival (last day)...


Although poor weather restricted the scope of the aerobatic displays; low cloud and occasional rain, there were still substantial crowds occupying every vantage point for several miles to see the likes of The Red Arrows and a solo display from the Eurofighter Typhoon (very impressive performance - and very noisy).

The weather being what it was, I've decided not to post any images shot today, but instead include an image shot yesterday of the last airworthy de Havilland DH 110 Sea Vixen in the world, which is based at De Havilland Aviation, Bournemouth Airport. The photo shows the undercarriage lowered, and the arrester hook in the carrier-deck landing position.

Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 lens. 1/1000 sec at f/4. ISO 100.
