Saturday 30th August 2008


Summer arrived on Saturday 30th August, the third day of the Bournemouth Air Festival and we were lucky enough to have chosen that day to go! It was glorious, there was a lovely holiday atmosphere and the planes were brilliant - from the Typhoon Eurofighter to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. There are about 40 videos of the festival on http://uk.youtube.com - I didn't quite catch the Typhoon on camera!!
The Vulcan didn't make it after all but it's something to look forward to next August!

There were hundreds of boats as well, moored across the bay to watch the show.
A very cheerful Gazelle helicopter display pilot - Major Iain Johnston of the Blue Eagles display team based at Middle Wallop.
The Red Arrows opened Saturday's show and were able to do their full display. And yes, we clapped!!
