Again Chris lovely photos :)

Talking about bad weather I was at a show at Baldonnell in Southern Ireland a number of years ago and the wind was gusting that strong that there was a Britten Norman Islander and the pilot was able to throttle back enough that it basically hovered in mid-air. Harrier eat your heart out.

Sasw a similar thing once with the Shuttleworth Collections Tiger Moth way back in 97, the downwind pass was certainly a fair bit quicker than normal  too :lol:

I missed a few pics out from Leuchars, the show featured this type a fair bit, can't think why?  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:

No apologises needed. I love the Tornado. I think it has to be one of the loudest aircraft I have ever heard.

Was at a show at the City of Derry airport (Eglington) a few years ago and two Tornados took off together. They were so loud that they actually set off car alarms in the car park :)
