If they were letting people in and charging an entrance fee, (which is against C.A.A. regulations) does that mean if they get landed with a fine will we get asked to pay it for them?

Smashing, TEEJ.
As ever.
You should put those Tiffy display practice shots of yours up on here, mate.
I've got a feeling they'll go down fairly well*

More exemplary stuff from TJ.
For aviation photography, what are the gains to be had by shooting in RAW? Is it worth it, are the benefits in image quality or does it 'just' allow you more flex? I've never done it before, and its one of those impenetrable areas of expertise that I've always shied away from through ignorance as much as anything.

Superb to see 'her' again in the air, she did one pass gear down (having crossed the overhead about 20 Mins before - did she go to Lincoln?) and then side slipped to land with a puff of smoke and much rudder pedal dancing due to cross wind (I think...). Forgot how smokey the old girl was. What coal are they using 
One thing, I'm no expert, but...the engines sounded a bit..rough (?) when the pilot throttled up a bit to enter the downwind. Is this normal as I don't remember her sounding like that ('x' amount of years ago!)?
Good work Fellas (and ladies), thanks to all who contributed to her return, not many dry eyes in the house..apart from SB of course...

I can just hear the Typhoon's saying:
"When I grow up, I want to be a Vulcan, but until then I shall keep my little stabilizing wings and whizz around the sky"
Nice to see a proper Tin Triangle back in Lincolnshire.
