Not Been around of late,
I know there are some people here who like planes so post my shots for you,

I was at the show where Flt Lt Jon Egging took his last and greatest flight, this was an amazing show, enjoyed by Every single person on that beach, My parents had decided to stay at home, where they live in Throop village, they insisted when the Red Arrows finish there display i phone them to say there on the way back to the airport, so they could watch the mini display over there house, next minute or two,i get a phone call from my parents, "One of the Red Arrows has crashed right infront of our house" Needless to say every hair on my body stood up, I was so worried about my parents and sister, Dont worry son were all fine, then i need not go into what happened after as im sure you all know,
I personally owe a debt of gratitude to "Flt Lt Jon Egging" had he not took avasive action my family would not be here

I use to go to air shows all the time when I was a kid. The jets are always cool but I love seeing WW2 planes. Not many of those guys left!
