    The view from the air was just as spectacular. Never seen so many boats in the bay. It was like the D-Day landings. When the PC9s came in you could really see, or not see why grey is an excellent camouflage colour for aircraft.

    thanks for the photos. Hope this airshow gets back to it's former size.

    Let the objectors wave balloons or whatever floats their boats

    Completely agree. An excellent display... he certainly put the 139 through its paces.
