Belgian Hercules just been added to static too.

[jeallen01]

We went today (by the back roads from J6 on the M25 - much quicker than via Westerham and the A233!) and thought it was an extremely good display pretty much all the way - especially the Belgain F16, Typhoon (not Tornado as I originally wrote - surprised no-one spotted that!), Gripen, Reds, the "Little and Large" Extra 300s, Patrouille de France, AND THEN there was the Hind (WHAT a display from such a big chopper!)! Bravo!

PS: Many, many thanks to the Czech Guys for coming - you are great!

PPS: even, for once, my wife agrees - she thought it was the best display we have seen this year, from Old Warden, Legends, RIAT, Blackbushe (Erm, not really comparable! )
