Bournemouth Air Festival 2013: Day 1...

Unlike last year, and certainly the year before - when the opening day of the Air Festival was washed out entirely by rain - this year's weather forecast looks very promising.

Without going into much detail, here is a selection of images from day one.








Top: Avro Lancaster
Second Row: The Battle of Britain fly-past, featuring the Avro Lancaster, Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire.

Third Row: (left) Patrouille Reva (French display team - with a certain je ne sais quoi)
                (right) Gerald Cooper, in his Xtreme Air XA 41

Row 4: The Tigers Parachute Display Team (well, two of 'em)

Bottom two: The Red Arrows
