I have just been at a show for the previous week and saw Gripen, Rafale, Tornado, Su30, Tejas, the Red Bulls, the Suyra Kirans and heaps of other stuff that won't be there at Avalon. The weather was great (mild) and the food as well. I was disappointed that he Mig 35 wasn't here or the Be 200 that was doing water bombing demo's last time i was here, but at least the Roosians had their usual gorgeous dollies on the indoor trade stands, a poor substitute but always easy on the eyes.
Oh Well, Avalon will still be fun anyway and I will be making the most of this showcase of aviation and will be there every day with my camera and sunscreen. I must get a Morris Oxford staff car and Royal Enfield dispatch rider escort so that i can wear my Air Marshall epaulets. It is so good to be British don't you know.
