Well, this years airshow may seem to have been a bit disappointing given that the Red Arrows were supposed to be the highlight but had to divert to Sardegna. Apparently they were given contaminated oxygen on a stop in Spain which caused some serious issues (two crew members had to be taken to hospital).

However the airshow organisers made sure to make up for it. The Libyans kindly sent over a Chinook and did a display on the Sunday in place of the Reds. The highlight though, was a Spitfire flown by Paul Bohnomme (Red Bull air race champion). This man's balls are made of carbon fibre, not steel!

It was also very nice of Canon's local representatives, Avantech, to invite CPS members for some night shots, away from the crowds!
