'Thunderstruck' - Apache Wall of Fire, RIAT

Post by Knife 04 » Fri Aug 23, 2019 1:31 pm

Very enjoyable weekend even though it rained almost non stop on the Friday - good to catch up with some familiar faces!

Late I know and don't normally post 'current' shots and concentrate on the 'oldies' but was pleased to come away with this one from the Sunday at RIAT last month

Thanks to Rich and James for pointing out the approximate spot to be and also to the family whose area I asked to be in - lady was also well into her photography!

Hope you like

Darren

Think that is a bit of 'shrapnel' Mike from all pyro packaging - looking at some earlier shots in the sequence there is a lot more

Not disagreeing there, Darren!

Think that was the first thing I heard on Air Tattoo Live on my way in from Swindon on the Friday morning. The volume was cranked up by more than a few notches that morning :lol: :lol:
