Nice set, good to see the weather did clear up a little for you. Also, awesome paint job on that 130.

Thanks Andrew, over the 4 days I was there the weather was very changeable. Thusday was like the Bahamas, warm and sticky. Friday it rained all day, took 8 photos in 9 hours Saturday wasn't too bad and Sunday was gorgeous.
I thought that livery was the best on show but it didn't win the Best Livery award

Ah, so you were there for arrivals and departures too....nice. Always wanted to do that when in the UK, never did, regret it.

Out of interest, what did win the livery award then? Did you get an image of it?

The Polish Mi-14 won the award. It's a nice livery but not as nice as the Hercs
(not my photo)

Great photos. I was there for just the Saturday, planning to do the arrivals and departures next year though. Counting down already

Jay

The arrivals can be a long day, 8am to around 7:30pm

Good series from a long weekend. I hope you had fun!

Nice series...

I can't believe Sunday was gorgeous!! I could've used my ticket Saturday or Sunday, and the forecast said Saturday would be the better day, so i got rained on, and took lots of pictures with a dull grey sky lol! Blasted weather men!

Thanks PhotosGuy, it was a long but very enjoyable 4 days

Yea Beano it would have been hard to choose between the two days based on the forecast but thankfully I had a weekend pass

. . . great series Michael - that Colombian Herc is an "i" catcher !!

I am proud of my Herc!!!
