More from farnborough.
The red arrows, obviously. They put on a full display, which was really good to see. It's been ages since I've seen the red arrows do a full display.
The arrows were parked up opposite the Breitling display team who also did a cool display.
It obviously wasn't all military planes there - I like this bulbous nosed guardian. very weird looking.
So here we have the F-15 and F-16. Very recognisable US jets.
The jet nozzles from the F16. If you were stood here with it fired up you'd get a rather heavy tan, rather quickly!
Parked next to them was the F18 Super Hornet. A Super Hornet actually did a display as well - it was impressive, both in terms of volume and manoeuvrability.
Right, unfortunately I've run out of the photos I was able to take with my proper camera. As mentioned, it ran out of juice as it had claimed to be fully charged, but really wasn't. So these remaining photos are all from my phone.
Here's the Chinook from the front - I took this on the way back, having walked all the way up the display.
The Osprey. The rotors are enormous. It's like having two big Chinook rotors stuck on the end of two stubby wings. A bonkers thing.
Another of those civilian aircraft.
A close up of its big old jet engine intake.
The Vulcan. Apparently it costs so much to fly it and it's in need of some serious upgrades, so it's a strong possibility this was the last time it will fly at Farnborough.
The Vulcan was at the very end of the displays, but it actually turned out that where they have all the "chalets" (which are only open on the industry days) there were a few aircraft on display too, including this F35.
