Aviation related.


Sept 2013: the RAF Red Arrows perform at the annual Airshow over the Jersey Islands, UK.
St Helier Beach is the Island's original Airport, with landings and take-off restricted to low tide! Today it is the site for the annual Air show, with the esplanade providing a great (and free) vantage point.
Sept 2013: At the annual 'warbirds' Airshow at Duxford; just south of Cambridge, UK.
Imperial War Museum Duxford is a branch of the Imperial War Museum. Britain's largest aviation museum, Duxford houses nearly 200 aircraft, military vehicles, artillery and minor naval vessels in seven main exhibition buildings
Based on the historic Duxford Aerodrome, the site was originally operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the First World War. During the Second World War Duxford played a prominent role during the Battle of Britain and was later used by United States Army Air Forces fighter units in support of the daylight bombing of Germany.

Jun 2014: Display at the enterence to RAAF Wagga Wagga.
The Australian Sabre (foreground) was a re-engined version of the North Amercian F86 which was delivered too late to serve in the Korean War. The Mirage 3 kept close to the original (French) design, with 110 assembled in Australia. In turn the Mirage was replaced by the FA18 Hornet.
