Side view of a black, single engined military jet fighter taxiing from left to right along a grey runway.
The plane is basically a large black engine pod with a white belly, with twin black tail booms stretching backwards from the wing root, carrying the small twin tails.
The cockpit canopy at the front of the plane is open, slid back along the top of the fuselage, with the bright red helmet of the pilot clearly visible in the gap.
The tail booms has white "Rioyal Navy" titles, just aft of a blue, white, and red roundel.
The registration "G-GONE" is on the end of the boom in white, under the tail.
Green grass fills the foreground, with a large grey building dominating the frame on the right, and trees on the left in the background, under bright but hazy skies.

Side view of a cream and blue, long and thin single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left.
A glazed, low windshield is the only concession to protection for the open cockpit and any pilot that may fly this.
The plane has dark blue upper surfaces and a cream body, with a white tail with a blue stripe containing a white circle with the letters "VP" in the middle in blue.
The registration "G-BAAD" are on the side of the rear fuselage, also in blue.
A pair of other single-engined light aircraft, both with military markings, are parked behind this one.
Grey metal fencing surrounds these planes, with crowds of people on the other sides, as well as a couple of vehicles.
A large green and brown hangar stretches across the frame from the left, under grim grey sky.

Side view of a white and red, single propellor-engined military training aircraft moving from left to right along a runway.
Flaps are extended behind the wings at an extreme angle, suggesting it has just landed.
The plane has white upper surfaces, with a red belly and wings, and a pale blue stripe running along the body which sweeps up into the white tail.
The black serial "ZF409" is in a non-standard position on the lower front of the engine cowling, with black "Cranwell Poacher" titles under the heavily glazed bubble canopy.
There is a red, white, and blue roundel on the rear fuselage, and a blue, white, and red fin flash on the tail.
Grass lines the sides of the runway in the foreground, with more grass leading off to trees in the distance, under hazy grey skies.

They did announce they'd fire the fireworks leftover from Friday night. And this is what it looks like in the daytime because jesus what a clusterfuck of a show.

I did enjoy getting four rides in the little charter planes, that made my weekend.
