Post your airshow images here, military aircraft that attend civilian airshows can be posted as long as the bulk of the photos in the thread are of civilian participants.

Eastbourne airshow, saturday 11-8-2012, pic heavy

Post by andygolfer » Sun Aug 12, 2012 9:12 pm

My Eastbourne Airshow pics taken on Saturday from the cliffs by the bomber command memorial between Beachy Head and the town, a mixture of civil and military and some of the civils in military uniform but believe this conforms with the rules

First of all, the Vulcan XH558 / G-VLCN, for me the star of the show and the main reason for going

approaching over the lighthouse , me and my shadow....

A cracking set Andy! Rekindling days of old with the Spit & 109 over the South Coast. (I know it's's not historically correct, but the thought is there) :lol:

I agree with that, a wonderful set. :thumbs:

Military aircraft are OK in this section, it helps to show the full flavour of airshows - it's the same on FC, just the other way round !

many thanks, I dont know about the SWIPs but the airshow frequency for the dispplying aricraft was 130.675. would be interested in any other airshow frequencies that anybody has e.g. clacton which is this Thursday & Friday

Mike -thanks for that re content but I would personally only post here if the majority have or show civil regs, if it were a totally military with one or two civilised aircraft then I wouldn't post them here as it would be of military interest

Phew - another set transferred to flickR!

An re-loading these brought back some memories, one of the best viewpoints for an airshow that I ever experienced
