major_clangerMore in my steady trickle of pictures from the Farnborough Air Show
I took rather a lot of pictures at Farnborough, a good many of them being of the Blades aerobatic display team. Composed of former Red Arrows pilots, they fly small but high-performance Extra 300 aircraft that allow for a display sequence that, whilst not as noisy as with jet aircraft, is a lot more nimble and complex. Rather than try to post even a subset of my pictures here, I'm linking instead to this Flickr search that brings them all up - albeit in reverse order, so start at the bottom.
