I'm looking forward to seeing some pictures from the airshow next week from you lot  ;D  The IL-76 should surely be a highlight?

What a performance by the Italian C-27J Spartan. Twin engine transport and it did wing overs, loops and knife edge passes. Pure brilliance. Highlight so far.

Very, very wet. Chucking it down at the minute. C-17 just landed and the pilot reported that he didn't see the runway lights until he was at 500 feet.

Lots of rain could mean great take off or landing shots  ;D .
 
Unfortunately the weather looks pretty much the same for the rest of the Airshow, wet and cloudy.  :(  Monday might have some dry spells though.

It has dried up so no nice take-off shots :( A-10 has just cut it's display short because of an electrical fault. Overall not a bad show so far.

Not that its much consolation,but it`s bucketing down here as well-I saw the weather forecast this morning at 6am and the chart looked like something from December/January with a big stinky low pressure system(991mb) slap bang over the top of Wales!
The golfers at the British Open are having a tough time.
