Sunderland Airshow

I spent a great afternoon with my family today at the Sunderland Airshow. Haven't had too much of a chance to look through my photos yet but I thought I would share a few with you.

And what airshow would be complete without the Crimson Crabs!

Overall a very enjoyable day.

Thanks for posting some pics for us less fortunate souls.
Appreciate you taking the time to title them too. Not everybody does.

Not a problem Spinner. Still haven't had too much time to look through them all (about 200), so shots of the Typhoon, Sea Fury, Sea Vixen, Tornado, Harrier and more still to post!

Looks like a good show...good photos too !
You guys are very lucky over there with so many good airshows to attend during the summer.

The best thing about the Sunderland one is that is free too! Each year it gets bigger and bigger, even to the point were the Crimson Crabs make it one of their priorities to do each year.

Apparently the weather was even better on Sunday, so a few more of the displays could take place (we didn't get the BoB Memorial Flight or the RAF Falcons on Saturday).
