A phenomenal set there Ron!

 

[eternumviti]

Marvellous photos. Wow!

Of the few types that I can identify, I had no idea that any air force was still using Harriers, let alone F4 Phantoms. Which countries are they?

 

[Lordhenley]

What a great set of images they are

A phenomenal set there Ron!

Thank you

Thank you , the Harrier is Spanish Navy , the F4 Phantom is Hellenic Air Force. The second and third photo is a very rare a Messerschmitt Me262

Thank you

 

[palindrome]

Hugely impressive.

And the jets aren't bad either. . .

But dammit, no F14 Tomcat, ron.

I had no idea there was a flying example? Is it real or a replica?

 

[Rug Doc]

Such a great image. Look at the carrots! On full chat yet it’s perfectly focused. Kudos to you!

What is this? P13?

Thanks John , Damn I'd love to get some shots of a F14 , I wonder if any of these classics are are still about ?

Its probably a replica Tony , nice to see it though

I believe they are ron, but you may have to visit Iran to get those particular shots.

My favourite display was the little Swedish MK60. Showed that you didn't need loads of power and noise to impress.

I haven't had time to look at my photos yet but I'm sure they will not be as good as those above.

 

[RPSGC]

Its probably a replica Tony , nice to see it though

According to RIAT website, there are four replica's.

Fab set of pics

 

[davcoll]

Terrific set.

Dave

 

[Retro]

Fab set of pics with plenty of action and movement. Not always easy to evoke at high shutter speeds.
Particularly liked the ME262. I didn't realise there was a flying example either! It takes me back to Airfix dogfight doubles in around 1972.
My first and favourite kit was the 262 and the mosquito. What a pair!
