Thanks for the comments everyone, it was a great weekend. Paul i overheard someone saying that the stormtroopers were actually an American Airforce C-130 crew, I don't know if this is correct but they definately had an American accent.
Has anyone ever tried the flight simulator pods they have dotted around airshows? we went in the Red Arrows one and it was fantastic, the wife came out a lovely shade of green:p Best wishes Mick

Mick they used to have and might still have at Duxford a simulator of a Mossie on the Amiens Raid! I'm guessing you might like that:D

The stormtroopers are from a filming studio, in the photo of them in my Waddington thread, you can see a guy in a black 't' shirt with a HH badge on it. The troopers have the same badge on them. The guy in black had a studio logo on the back of his shirt, can't remember what it was though.
Anyone going to Windermere air show this weekend (25th july) or Cosby, Leicestershire airshow(5th sept).

Oh very very nice
Mick....Mick....Mick You own the same camera as myself
 but you got to point yours at those beautiful ladies of the sky, and you did a DAMN GOOD JOB ! My hairs stood up on my neck just looking at the 52's because i know what they sound like and with that sound in my head and your beautiful photographs.... I was there, almost emotional because i know you thought of me when you were taking them  Did it go through your head "oh if only Pete and Phil were here" we would have been like big kids in a big playing field with all those aircraft. You, my friend have just taken us all to an AIRSHOW, and i cant thank you enough - You are a DAMN GOOD PHOTOGRAPHER, especially seeing as that was your first shoot with your new one.. they're good camera's aren't they ? Oh and bye the way... you are very very very BLESSED to have been up close and personal with a BUFF :D The others were great too... but, well i'm a 52 addict i think you know Cheers mate.

Awesome pics, Mick. Dispite the weather, it sounds like you had a weekend to be envious of. I'm really hoping I can hit the airshow circuit next year in a serious way. Fingers crossed.
