Thanks for your comments, I've been sorting through the sunday's selection of photo's which I'm going to upload at somepoint over the next couple of days to Flickr!

@Deeknow, have just subbed you on Flickr too! the track looks interesting to snap at!

@IslandBoy I've been there for the past 21 years, although for the past 4 I've had a DSLR so only have a few shots from the past 4 years on facebook, I have another shot which is taken (from memory) before this one, but I actually overexposed the photo as I knew that I would be able to recover it with the correct settings and this is the correct version!

@Ian, I do have photo's of the Vulcan, although it was rather dark during its display here's one from its display as it does it's full power climb (sets car alarms off)

and towards the end of its display


@flyingkiwi what did your friend think of this? as its quite a good show!
