A few early rushes from Saturday; excellent display at RIAT as always, even without XH558 (Don't get me started on that topic! ) and the much heralded F35 Lightning IIs that were grounded in the States .....plenty of action all day from 09:45 right through to 18:00 with a lot of the usual suspects and a few strangers. The weather was nigh on perfect as well, although the light faded a bit late afternoon with some high cloud, but far better than Waddington the previous week!
Anyway, some shots to get started:

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Beautiful pictures. Can I right click save the Typhoon for a background pic?

Re: RIAT 2014 Saturday
Great shots, shame the Vulcan missed out though.
Nice to see a Gripen too.

Re: RIAT 2014 Saturday
Thanks folks, I have to say that the weather made it easy to get a decent shot!
A few more that I have had a chance to process:
BBMF Hurricane: a late arrival as the aircraft went 'tech' at Conningsby and was doubtful to make it at all, then showed up without warning about half past six with a single flypast and break into the circuit for landing....but better late than not at all!
RIAT 97 by iggieboo2009, on Flickr
BBMF Spitfire
RIAT 83 by iggieboo2009, on Flickr
Lancaster PA474
RIAT 77 by iggieboo2009, on Flickr
RIAT 69 by iggieboo2009, on Flickr
I have more to process (about 1300 )
