Royal International Air Tattoo 2006, RAF Fairford, 15th Jul'06 (Sun Airshow (Day off - Photography day for me))
Sunday once again dawned dull and overcast, that soon gave way to sunshine (and 30+ temperatures again) I took some static shots first thing, of those a/c that weren't already snapped, and some others during the flying display lazy lunch time. Rest of the day was spent baking in factor 4 oil and taking photos ;-)
