Anytime before MPN was a good time to be down there. Spent some at Navy Point myself when I was on JHSU hooking. Great shots Mr B!

Now I do like the "group shot" of the Tornado F.3 and Typhoon together. That must have been at handover? Got a similar shot like that at Leuchars Airshow in 2010........Old and New so to speak.
