You guys all missed the biggie.

Devonport 2003 - last weekend.

Nothing anywhere near Avalon of course but a well run and entertaining show. Dragged in 16,000 people which was a great effort on a perfect day.

Two F111s present one doing a display with a ballistic dump and burn, and the mandatory skare the kids pass - brilliant.

Strikemaster and Yak52, Roulettes, red Berets parachuting, aerobatics all with RPT arriving and departing in the midst of it.

Damned fine effort for a regional centre.

Gotta love the F111s - they are such a magnificent beast and an absolute pleasure to watch and feel as they blast by. 1950s technology in its finest form.

Best all
