Hi guys,

Got some decent shots myself, but can't seem to get them uploaded...

Noticed on both approaches (arrival from England as 10 ship, and return after display) that one aircraft on each approach did a go-around. Looked like they need to fine tune the arrival spacing!

Hi theflyingcello if you can resize the images to round 800 on the long side they should upload ok. Alternatively create an account in the gallery, upload them there and then link to them in this post.

Much better light when the Reds returned from Newcastle:a few go-arounds again and I was very lucky and had a great view from my garden. ;D

Loved watching the Reds coming into land at Killead yesterday. What a view! Arguably better than watching the main display. Great closeup view of them coming in from all directions to land on 25. Highlight of the year! My 18 month old son had his first fast jets experience and was saying "WOW, WOW, WOW" as they flew past.
