What a great shot, Nick! It reminds me on the year 1972 when I saw the Red Arrows at a flying show. I've still a photo when they flew the "Formation Diamond Nine". At this show we saw some Lightinings, too! They've made a terrible noise!!!

Hi Ul;i I remember the Lightning but not their noise ~ All the best ~ Nick

WOW WOW Dear Nick!! An awesome photo you have for us here!! The Red and Blue are so dramatic together.... your luck here was spot on!! I watched the above entire youtube offering! Awesome! I just wish it had been in English.... through the years we took our sons to air shows and came away always in awe of the precision and timings on these shows. thanks Nick!!

Best wishes with a hug , Sarah

Hi again dear Sarah I agree that the precision invoked with these aerobatic teams in mind blowing. I have seen many Red Arrow displays over the years and they never fail to imrpess ~ Hugs ~ Nick

Brilliant. It's a shame that you don't get out so much with the Nikon D700. I know the feeling. My Canon 60D is now a bit heavy for me. ;-)

I quite agree dear LGM. I used the D700 in Gosport last week and I have to confess that I'd forgotten how to use it properly. We obviously need so helpers ~ I think a little red head would be very useful and keep me focused ~~~~~~

Hi Nick cracking shot of the Reds show up well against the Blue Sky YS .Best Wishes Alan.

Thanks a lot Alan ~ All the very best to you ~ Nick

Fantastic detail full size here Nick on the Diamond Nine formation and one certainly flying into my fav's with a YS

Also noted comment above the E.E Lightning was indeed one of the loudest aircraft of the day ..
