| Southend Airshow For the first time in 2 years the weather has been good for the largest free airshow in the UK a mixed bag of aircraft and ground based events are entertaining the crowds over the two day bank holiday event The land based displays from the armed forces careers were doing a brisker than usual trade in enquires The increase IMO as a result in the current economic down turn. Anyhow here is a mixed bag of images from this years event. |

 | Nice stuff, Lee. I noticed the wing walking airplane has an N number on it. The wing walker looks familair. Was that Jenny Forsythe, by chance?

I thought it was a good show unfortunately the sheduled B25 and Apachi failed to show, what did bug me was the the RAF falcons parachute team are having to use an Islander aircraft as all the Hercules are on ops in Iraq and Afgahnistan makes me wonder what would happen if this nation got committed to anything bigger than current deployments. If the MOD hadnt made such a **** up on the Chinook upgrade fiasco we could have spent some of the wasted £500 million on a few more fixed wing logistic aircraft to support our guys. Anyway rant over a few more snaps | |
