Can you chaps try to keep the noise down please. Some of us are trying to work.

Many sarcastic thanks.

I gather the F-18 seems top dog at the moment.

Of the noisy lot then it's a toss up between the F18 and Eurofighter. That's my opinion anyway!!

The Sukhoi-26 was absolutely incredible. Prop driven aircraft shouldn't do the stuff it was doing!

Wish I'd had my camera earlier in the week. Eurofighter parked next to a Spitfire, about 100 yds across the Western Pan from my office window.

Hawkeye doing a nice display at the moment.

Propper aircraft back at Farnborough. Just FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

Wonder how the NIMBY's double glazing is holding out. Should have been here when...................:rolleyes:

Perhaps it is the perspective I am looking at it from,
but
that new control tower looks very very close to the display line! :eek: :eek: :eek:
The Reds on Monday looked very close to it for the syncro pair, from our viewing platform up on our roof.:cool: :eek: :cool:

I presume it has been briefed, and it is an optical illusion. ;)
