Was up at New Brighton to see it's 10 minute display..the weather came good at the last moment and she put on a fantastic show.
Supposed to be off to RIAT tomorrow...fingers crossed the weather has improved down there!
From the viewing park at Manchester...

Anyone get a pic of it at manchester and maybe have the XL 739 in the fore/back ground. Long shot but worth asking.

Wow - the one of it banking over New Brighton is awesome! Do you have a higher res version of that shot? I was stood pretty much underneath it then - you can see it from my perspective here...
