Fairford Air Tattoo

Took the kids down to the Fairford Air show on Sunday. Despite it being a pretty dreary day weatherwise, we had a great time. Managed to see the Red Arrows as well as some other international display teams, the last remaining Vulcan in flight, and a fully armoured Eurofighter Typhoon, which stymied any conversation. Meredith was fascinated by the grumbling feeling that we all got in our stomachs due to the percussion from the engine noise.
There are always a few unlikely display bonuses at these events, and the Ford Display Team did it for us. The 'stunt' driver spun his car around to park between other vehicles, as well as circuiting the ring on 2 wheels.

A good day out. Despite performing Chinooks, Spitfires and all the rest of it, I'm sure that, bizarrely, the highlight of the day for Darius was still seeing two guys dressed as Star Wars troopers!
