Just arrived up in sunny yorkshire on part 2 of mine and chloes uk tour after spending the weekend in Southend for the airshow!!!

Anyone else go? It was awesome yesterday and perfect weather i even got sunburnt!!

Spent today up Southend airport watching the planes actually take off and land which was cool especially standing next to the Tornado as they fired it up

Also they flew the Typhoon for the first time in a display and god when that fires the after burners its awesome

My other faves are the Hercules, Chinook and B17

Cant post any pics as they are on my laptop


Apologies if this bores anyone
