Leave a massive amount of time to get parked and into the site. Last year we queued for more than 2.5h round the edge of the airfield before getting into the (ha ha) priority parking and missed the first hour of the show. Never again.

I glanced upwards this morning noticing a flight above south London heading the wrong way for Heathrow. I could just about make it out as the BOAC 747 and was confused to see it operating a DUB-LHR service. Then I noticed it was supposedly flight number BA100. Not sure it ever went to DUB!

Echoes of the B-52 at Blackbushe? (Yes, I know what they were doing...)

Very impressive fly past with the BA 747 and the Red Arrows
The Hawks on the apron afterwards
And later on the Red Arrows performed a double Concorde formation with the French display team Patrouille de France
