raf waddington airshow 2009

[superian]

the wife and i went to waddington for the airshow at the weekend. i did'nt realise how popular it is. stayed in a travelodge about 10 miles away and took nearly 2hrs to drive in on the sat from the newark direction. on sun went in via lincoln and it still took over an hour. cracking weather for both days and a great flying display. pity the vulcan was grounded but maybe another time. transport on the airbase was provided by the lincolnshire vintage vehicle society and a great job they did as well. i dont log reg no's but take pics instead.
starting with the buses, a few of the vulcan and then some helicopters. the rest to follow tomorrow.
hope you enjoy. ian.

Hi Ian

I was right at the end of the runway where the coaches where, right where they lined up.

I went home with skin the same colour as a Red Arrow
