Farnborough International Airshow 2008

On-site at the Farnborough Airshow to do a bit of corporate/commercial work, I took advantage of being where I was to do a bit of aerial photography (as you do). I think the B-1 bomber took the crown as the Loudest Damn Aircraft In The Vicinity, but a few other aircraft were also noisy enough to set off most car and house alarms in the vicinity. A fun day, but very tiring, and I got enormously sunburnt! Anyway, here are a few shots from this set.

Lovely shots, Matt. All my extended family live in Farnborough and beyond. So I have many happy airshow memories. Nice to see some cracking pics from the event...
