Country:  | Actually CC, I do like the T-33 shot.
Not simply because it's in Canadian markings though.
All excellent pics.  | |

| The show was a great success, but origionally it was going to have a lot of RAF participation, but with RIAT being on the same weekend they got stuffed by the RAF. I think this worked to the shows advantage and hopefully through a few contacts made during the weekend i might get to bend the organisers ears a fair bit before the 2007 show.
