Royal International Air Tattoo 2007, RAF Fairford, 15th Jul'07 (Sun show day - Off day with visitors...!)
Weather was horrible for an Airshow again, worse even than Saturday. Mum came down with Sarah, and Lee's family to join us both for a SGT (Self-propelled Guided Tour) of the show site plus the usual DGT (Driven Guided Tour) of the active areas...!
