About a month ago, and I've finally put the pics on the web:

http://www.freewebs.com/leucharsairshow/

Check it out if you like military jets - of specific interest to me was the Battle of Britain memorial flight (#103-118 and 119)

Red Arrows ROCK

#s 16-22 are Harriers
If you look for the exhausts you can see where they're going (#22 is going backwards)

The lancaster was grounded with a brake problem - unfortunate but it's better to be safe than sorry with these old birds.

Actually the ones with propellers are the Ospreys. They have rotating engine mounts and are used by the Marines.. they're kind of controversial because several have crashed, with disasterous results. The Harriers are the jets (fixed wing) you saw Arnold fly in True Lies, they have vectored exhausts for vertical to horizontal flight.
