Look who dropped in

International air show in Portrush today. Took as many pics as my phone would let me .When I got home and uploaded them there were only three good ones .I dont think that introductions are needed for these guys.

 

Good show Beefy!!!

 

marvellous beefy, they took well off your phone wouldnt know how to do that have you got to have the printer made especially for mobiles, anyway they are brilliant pics

 

No Rosa ,cable came with phone to plug into computer and a piece of software from Nokia website, Put pics into computer then to Photobucket and then here.

 

Great piccies Beefy - and no you don't have to introduce them. The first time I saw them fly was at the British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch - and they did their usual approach low and fast from behind, causing everyone to duck :D Though they've changed planes since then, they are still good.

I even got to see them when I was in the RAF - but had a preference forthe gut vibrating roar of a Vulcan on reheat.

 

Know what you mean Fran.The Euro-fighter did that trick today -approached from behind, then went strait up on afterburner result about 500 car and house burgular alarms in Portrush went off :D :D .

 

Well done Beefy. I can send my mobile phone pictures as 'picture messages' to my email address.
Fran, I loved Vulcans too, also the English Electric Lightning...

 

When we lived at raf valley they used to practise over our houses on a daily basis..its amazing what they can achieve..

 

Hi Beefy they were here in the North East a few weeks ago they are absolutely marvellous to watch. Your photos are great especially when you just used your mobile. It must be some phone it cannot be one of tiscallies. Well done!

 

Jazz its a Nokia N70
A good phone ,well pleased with it.Had it about five months and no complaints .

 

Very good pics Beefy and great subject!! Never tire of seeing them - theyre amazing. Fran, I must introduce you to my hubby - he's a Vulcan fan too

 

I remember reading recently that there is a group restoring the vulcan to fly again. They are short about �£250,000 - but hopefully they will raise it, and the bird will fly.

Beefy I bet Portrush loved that :D What a way to announce your presence.

 

I hope they get a Vulcan flying again.
I used to go to airshows quite a lot but not lately, as Fran and Liz say the vulcan and lightning were always the real noisy ones.
Never heard anything to beat the US blackbird though.Saw it once a Mildenhall.
As I remember it took 1hr 55mins from New york to London.
Things have got a bit tame since the "cold war" ended.

 

Here's a shot I love we took at the IoW a couple of years ago ...



I have lots of plane photos, even the Vulcan and it's sidekicks somewhere ... and Concorde flying over us!

 

Yes the appeal was on BBC BREAKFAST and they got the money they needed! Hubs has been following it too
