The RFA Mounts Bay acted as quite an impressive backdrop to many of the pictures taken over the bay. It does sometimes make it look like I was shooting in a war zone.

A pleasure-boat strewn war zone, I grant you. But you get the point.
On the subject of helicopters, we did have an unscheduled drop-in from a coastguard helicopter that landed on the beach, kicking sand all the way up to us at the top of the East Cliff.

We’re going to take a break from military aircraft for a while, and move on to some formation aerobatic displays.
The Breitling Wingwalkers flew over Knaphill today (29th August) around 3.15, probably on the way from Dunsfold to Cardiff, but I didn’t have my camera at the ready
I now have this image of the planes flying over with the girls still on top, reading newspapers…
Nice photos, thanks for sharing!
