Country: | 1300hrs and it was packed the local rag reckoned around 100,000 spectators.
Oh and just to add the Typhoon bit the pilot demonstrated the auto recovery capability by putting the aircraft in a banking dive and releasing the controls the plane corrected its attitude and set its self into a 300 knot slow assent

Country: | i went to yeovil a couple of years ago it's a great show, the traditional close is a airborne marine assault on the ruway it's truely amazing with about 15 helicopters and harriers flying around, then they all, whilst still in flight, line up over the runway and they bow to the crowd, amazing stuff.........

| i just feel that the modern jets dont have such a special elegance about them. i also feel something inside me when i see an old aeroplane thats been lovingly restored and looked after. | |
