Some pics from Sunday's very successful Abingdon Fayre. Grey skies almost all day but still great fun.

RAF Hawk... I enjoy the flat display more than the full show but black aircraft, grey sky... not much cop for photos.

The RAF Tutor display is always an impressive bit of flying.

RAF Chinook display even more impressive than last year - Merlin boys will have to go some to beat this.

Closing the show was Andy Cubin in the fabulous Blue Diamonds Hunter, after a quick circuit and bump to free up some sticky undercarriage...

No, don't encourage him,but....how the hell he gets such cracking shots in such poor weather is incredible. Couldn't do that if he had film in that camera! :blink:
