After a busy fortnight attending both Yeovilton and RIAT for the duration, I'm finally getting round to catching up with the editing and thought I'd share some images from an excellent five days at the local. A fine show that I thought was well balanced, with a little something for everyone in the flying, and some rare gems on the ground that VLAD has become so good at attracting in recent years. Absolute highlight was of course the Harriers, and it was superb to see the Alizé make it over at long last, even if its display was a disappointingly distant. Apologies for the amount of images to follow, I always struggle to condense five days into a small number of images...
