Sunderland air show


Andrew

Recommended Posts

We have had Heat, sunshine, heat sunshine. :sun: temps high 20s

 

Start of the 30th Sunderland air show today and what do we get. ?

 

Heavy rain and thunder and lightening storm. Rain drops like half crown bits, thunder claps like its the end of the world and lightening lighting the dark thunder sky up like its midday.

 

Bloody typical, :wacko:

Bad luck Andrew, when I was a kid, air shows like the ones at RAF Church Fenton & Finningley always opened with a fly past by the ENGLISH ELECTRIC LIGHTENING Breaking the sound barrier - does that still happen??

 

By the time you'd heard the sonic Boom - the aircraft was already out of sight!!

The weather was terrible last evening for the Red Arrows, dry at the moment but very much overcast, boooooooooo.

We had a terrific thunder and lightening storm last evening/night, excellent to witness, HUGE fork lightening flashing for an hour or so, brilliant

I have never understood the red arrows ,do they raise more money for the RAF than the millions it must cost to have them and surely the pilots could be better value for money out bombing people?

Same with the bands why not use the people in something usefull rather than simply playing music ,border control would be better than noise!

The bands can get very annoying in aldershot in stopping people going about their business get shot of them they are obselete

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle
