Hi Buddy :P

Sorry for the tardiness of my reply, but our caravan is in a Wi-Fi no-go zone and when we are there it's a no-show from me :@

Great pics, mate :thumb:

What a sky to go with it as well :O

Best regards

Nice pictures. It visited Breighton for a display practice prior to the appearance at Elvington - we could see it turn and run-in for Elvington in the distance! Shame Sunday's weather was so appalling, I planned to get over to the LMA show to see the Vulcan and the Reds but it was all but cancelled.
