You should be set, then. Take lots, the more you take and post the happier we are.

What a disappointing day.

Wind was a steady 25kt with gusts up to 35kt so there was no flying today other than the arrival and late afternoon departure of the FA-18's

Still I spent a few hours checking out the aircraft and other displays they had around the airport. There was an Me-108 which I'd never seen in the flesh before:

Many more pics to come once I get time to get them uploaded to a hosting site.

I try to factor in potential weather factors before a visit and try to focus on those venues that have a decent static display as a back up position.

Doesn't always work mind.

I'd bought my ticket when a few days ago when the weather report was still quite good. A low pressure system developed off the coast yesterday and caused the wind. Ah well looking at the static stuff was fun if not as much fun as the flying stuff.

Especially looking forward to seeing the Catalina, Canberra, Vampire and Sabre

You'll see them all in good time, along with a few other surprises.

It's taking that long they must be in some serious need of photo editing
