    I was in the kitchen cooking and had the door open - went right overhead. Didn't hear them until they were over what looked like 3-400 feet above me. WOW are they loud. The whole house shook and the Dogs started barking :)

    This is the picture I got from our garden a couple of years ago, when I was expecting them. From an iPhone again.

    I was quite pleased with it :)

    Yep I really wouldn't live anywhere else. 21 Years ago I spent a summer working in a bar on a Greek Island...not a patch on here when the sun is out.

    Great photo.
    The best place I have ever watched an air show, back in the 70s, was at Weston Super Mare.
    I was on top of Brean Down, (why do they call it Down, when it is up high?), which looks out over Weston S M bay.
    There were times when we were above the planes, that had swooped into the "arena". Superb viewing point.
    It was also a noisy holiday, as we were in a caravan park that was regularly overflown by jets, on the lead up to the show, presumably the Red Arrows on a recce.

    Here's a link for next year's show, if anyone is interested.
