Wow. What a great day for the enthusiast. Got to London just after 10 am to see the  J Herc dropping the Skyhawks. Then the arrivals started. Mohawk, Goshawk, Navy Texan II, 4x F-16, 3x F-15, 3 x F-18, KC-135, 2x E-2 ( a C and a D ) and practices by the F-22, Hornet, Pete McLeod etc etc. Here's a few of my favourite pics.

If those roundels on the Voyager were any smaller they could have used 1/72 scale decals!  :o

GREAT bunch of pics Cap'n, looks like a super day's aviating there.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I've seen those looks before....waiting for the AA / RAC / Granny so and so with the spare keys ;D.

Great pictures. I don't care how good its supposed to be, the F-22 doesn't hold a candle next to the Eagles and Hornets in the looks department.

The F-22 and Mustang pair look they're modelled in different scales!  :o

At first glance at the F-22/Mustang pic I thought it was one aircraft and someone had built one of Tophe's designs.

Thanks for sharing Cap'n.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Fantastic photo's Capt, many thanks. :thumbsup:

Looks like you had a great day weather wise as well
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
