there must have been 10'000 people along the seafront ed,its a free air show (and superb to ) and as the vulcan came into view ,flying low and slow you could have heard a pin drop in the crowd ,everyone just stood there with there mouths hanging open .its a totally awesome beast .and i,m glad to have seen it

I am not really into jets that much, but I take exception for the Vulcan it is a good looking aircraft. A truly awesome bird.
I have had to miss several great photo opps in the past due to work, but it is all better I am retired. so my time is my own
One more flyday this year in 2 weeks hopefully we will have good weather.
Here is a couple you may or may not see a Polikarpov U-2/PO-2 (Night Witch)
and a Waco UPC7

Yes sir
Both very cool, The Spit was the show horse, and the Herc was the work horse that got the job done
Don't take me wrong the spit is one of the best fighters and much loved by her pilots, check this video

What double post? o.O

It can happen with Mac's too, I managed a quad post once, it's all to do with the latency to your ISP I think. If you get mouse button bounce it thinks you have posted twice.
