Love the pics Mackrick :-BD. Obviously the "power naps" were a vital element to the success of the weekend ;) . Either that or there were to many Jaffa Cakes consumed and the pics were taken during the sugar crash :D .

I was thinking the same............... very nice and snazzy. I wonder if the 'disco club' visit to 655 has any link to VTTS having Disco's now?

Nice to see the other side of airshow weekends. Not just the flying and the wowed crowds. The team back at base need some recognition too. I'm sure after the last week, they are all knackered - an the airshow season has only just begun.

OK CJ, own up!!!

Who did you have to bribe to get that close to the action? ;)

Nice vid :ymapplause: , especially like the title slides. Nice font and background. It sounds like it was a tads windy at Brize, not too shaky all things considered. Are you going to be this close for most of the season? If so, I look forward to more vids.

The title slides are a default setting in iMovie, I also used the video stabilisation feature in iMovie that reduces camera shake dramatically with only a little loss in quality.
Winds were between 20-25knots, thats 23-28mph.
I'll be trying to get to as many of the Vulcan's events as possible throughout the season.

Great Pictures everyone who posted them. :ymapplause: :ymapplause:

It is nice to see how the half live while the rest of us sit and enjoy the displays, Perhaps the new Disco's are full of Jaffa cakes ;) ;)
