An estimated 340,000 people turned out for the first full day of the Air Festival, which doesn't includine those watching from the 900 or so boats anchored in Poole Bay. It would appear that the event is as at least as successful as last year's, giving hope that it will become a permanant fixture during the summer.
The first image is of the RAF Falcons: the UK's premier military parachute display team, in the process of getting organised into a stacked descent, having jumped from a helicopter at 10,000 feet.
The second photograph is of the Eurofighter Typhoon, the aircraft that closed the show, seen here going vertical on its afterburners.
Both images: 300mm f/2.8 AF-S VR Nikkor (VR off) and TC-14EII teleconverter. Handheld.
Top: 1/3200 second at f/5.6. -0.33 EV. ISO 200
Bottom: 1/1250 second at f/5.6. -0.33 EV. ISO 200.
