Farnborough Air Show

[beattie819]

SO looking forward to 7 days of Farnborough. Lovely noisy chest thumping planes, Red Arrows over the house, great view from Costco car park too!
There may be the odd ready meal in this house this week, I will be too busy plane spotting!

Thank you! I am lucky, only 5 miles from Farnborough. Watched the Vulcan doing its validation flight last Friday. Costco car park is right on edge of runway, and customers can stay and watch for 2 hours Then I am going to the show on Friday.

I caught some of the practice flights this week.

Do envy you for seeing the Vulcan, an awesome sight.

We had a Hercules fly over the house a year or so ago, it was so low that me and the kids actually ducked! We don't get many planes (the odd bi-wing plane doing acrobatics). We get LOTS of military helicopters though.
