Good afternoon, Mr. Currie

Wonderful shots, yet again

Great to see the JGG in Lizard, along with those lovely little 'Hogs

I remember that display, now, for the wrong reason: I thought, at the time, that the Frecci Tric display was 'cavalier', considering the cloud levels (they gave a full display, whereas the 'Reds' did not); the next weekend was Ramstein

I, for one, was not that surprised

Thanks for yet another great post Daz

Best regards

What a cracking set of images, thanks so much for sharing them .

Bentwaters was certainly one of the best bases to visit, for spotting and for airshows!
It was all such a long time ago, but memories recall it as if it were only yesterday!
