Red Arrows, Bournemouth
Red Arrows, 2009
The 2009 Bournemouth Airshow was brilliant.

The weather was out. The crowds were huge. And the displays were just jaw dropping at times.

My highlights were the Vulcan which was whisper quiet when it came in and then it was boneshaking loud when the power kicked in and it turned around so quickly for a big plane.

Of course, the Eurofighter was simply awesome. I was there one day by myself taking some photos and I was left open mouthed and laughing at the fantastic sight of it flying around and the noise, the noise was just awesome.

I missed the Chinook but judging by the glimpses I saw getting there and people's photos on the web, it is amazing the vertical angles that it can fly at.

The dates are already out of next year - August 19th to the 22nd, 2010.

A brilliant day yesterday. Everyone had a great time.

Touching speeches by both Groom and Best Man in their own personal way.

See all the action on Facebook Photos. Sleeper alert though.

Got a new long range lens for the wedding and some good results if I do say so myself.

Bournemouth Air Show
It is going to be a busy few weeks ahead for us.

Really looking forward to the Bournemouth Airshow. I was away last year but this time I am around. Hopefully not get stuck in the traffic as well.

The Roar from the Shore is happening next Thursday the 20th. A record breaking attempt to crack off a huge amount of fireworks in 60 seconds. Launching between Boscombe and Bournemouth Piers, it is going to be busy down there. 9.30pm it all kicks off.

A fun day was had by all.

A bit of zorbing for some of us, some nice food and beers around Wimborne. Off into town for a curry and then the group dispersed along their merry ways. Lightweights left at 9pm, middleweights at 10pm and the hardcore London Posse partied till 5am.

Max had the shakes the next day. Serves him right.
