    One from the weekend (Farnborough Airshow 2014).

    Plenty of aircraft over our house for the past week for the airshow in Farnborough. I captured a few reasonable images over the weekend, most that look similar to previous years, the best can be seen here (straight off the camera):

    Great shots of the Vulcan, just hope they can keep it flying as every year it is getting harder for them.

        I went on Thursday and was quite disappointed in the poor limited display. It looks much better at the weekend. Should have paid the extra and waited. Biggest disappointment was no F35
        As Ian said love the shots of the Vulcan.

              Indeed, so much so that I thought it had already stopped flying! Perhaps they managed to acquire some more cash. Good to see it in the air.

                Stunning shots Nick. As others have said, the Vulcan steals the show though. It's a fantastic aircraft. One of my fondest memories from my years as a glider pilot was coming into fairly close quarters with it (I say it since I think this is the only one flying). We were both in the open FIR (uncontrolled airspace), so neither of us were intruding on the other so to speak. Although we were close to each other, there was no chance of a collision - but it looked pretty big in the sky nonetheless. A great hulking mass with great plumes of black exhaust smoke. It was just a stunning sight.

                  We are due another air show in August usual Reds etc but a Vulcan and Lancaster with a skydiving team are listed as specials.
                  It is of course on the day I have to drive to Dublin airport to pick up friends!

                    Thanks all for the comments. This year is supposed to be the last time the Vulcan will fly at Farnborough so I tried to get a fair selection of shots.

                    Paul, I've had a go at gliding some time ago and can only imagine how awe inspiring being in the same airspace as a vulcan must have been.
