Royal International Air Tattoo 2007, RAF Fairford, 14th Jul'07 (Sat show day - working for me & Jason)
Weather was horrible for an Airshow to start off with, with lots of moisture and low clouds, and it was cold too....!!! (British weather eh...!?) Didn't take so many photos as I'd have liked, due to the weather.... but some just had to be taken...! Then it brightened up late afternoon.... typical...!
