Was googling for some random airshow photos, and found these. Anybody have an idea where they're from?

That F18(Hornet I think) photo looks a lot like one of mine:

Mine was taken at Duxford, my guess would be that those are taken at Duxford, or the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT). Thumbs Up

Puzzled. Similar how? Grey skies = UK default background. But one was a clear blue sky. Was the weather really that changeable on that day? Thinking

Easy guide

F18 = 2 engines, 2 tails
F16 = 1 engine, 1 tail
F18E = bigger than F18C
F15 = square side intakes, 2 engines, 2 tails, huge

first 2 shots are also an avro vulcan that as far as i recal has only flown around the UK air shows since its recent restoration to flight condition

and yes the skys those 2 days were extremely changeable, i went the year after rain stopped the entire show.

Fingers crossed i will get to go RIAT again this year.

I have to get some sleep now, i will post some pics up later

i took nearly 1000 picture that day, not all worthy of being taken but i must say the d50 i had at the time peformed better than i expected on just one battery

I can try and get more uploaded at some point if there is a need for more aeronautical imagery
