The 21st Sunderland International Airshow
. . . the Red Arrows . . a Hurricane fighter from the Battle of Britain flight . . the only Vulcan bomber still flying . The Sunderland Airshow is a two-day event and attracts hundreds of thousands of spectators every year. .
That Vulcan is very cool, I would like to see one of those fly. I saw one on static display near Lincoln when I lived over there. Was the Lancaster Bomber at the airshow? Its home field is near Tattershall Castle in Lincolnshire. The Lancaster flew over a parade in Arnold in Nottingham. I saw it a few other times too. We just had a B-17 here in Elko, NV. I am absolutely fascinated with World War II aircraft. That Hurricane is sweet.
That's so cool! I've never seen an airshow and would love to.
ReplyDeleteI like how you caught the sailboat with the bomber.
thanks Hilda; this was my first major air display... it was quite breathtaking at times; kind regards, Charles

Hi Eric; the Lancaster was replaced by a Dakota; see here for a family Lanxaster story:

The sail boat below the Vulcan almost looks to be a toy. It certainly gives the viewer an appreciation of how big the Vulcan actually is.
