Southend Airport was host to the Red Arrows, BBMF and Typhoon demo team over the weekend for a number of airshow bookings in the South East. Here's a few from the weekend.

Lancaster caught me out taxiing to the intersection to backtrack, so this one was shot through the fence.

And returning a short while later.







Just after 8pm the Red Arrows arrived.

And then finally departing in the light light of the day back to Waddington:

Fantastic photos! Lighting is superb!
