Thanks. I was lucky to have got the second one as only got there about 30 minutes before. First time i've seen them for real at Fairford or not at an airshow, so a real bonus. B52 'Touch & Goes' will be up in about 90 minutes, followed by B52 'Cleared for Take-Off', then B52 'Everything" i.e. a longer version of the shorts and finally a 'short' of RAF C17 in Brize Norton circuit!
