they light didn't play ball for photography (first cloudy day in weeks) but it was still a sight to behold, I travelled down to Wanstead flats with and to meet up with friends, great location - loads of space to choose from and fairly good angle.
Here's a selection , a bit on the grey side due to the light or lack thereof and more editing than usual to try to 'bring them out a bit' - at least it's a record of the day.....
I'll start with this as the signature shot for the day then do them roughly in appearance order

there's a few more in the album but they're nothing to shout home about.
thanks for looking C&C welcome although I know they are far from the best. I'm never sure with these events whether to go for detailed pics of individual aircraft or concentrate on formation shots as that's what the event is focussing on - thoughts?
