East Fortune Air Show


Today is the East Fortune Airshow and it's off I go for some photos.

I had opted to stay outside of the show this year to get some different images, albeit I know would miss some general shots of the activities other than the flying.

I had heard good things about viewing from Traprain Law, so car duly parked the ascent was undertaken with some effort, though the climb wasn't too long.

My first sight was the Exmoor ponies and that was an unexpected joy.

As things turned out there wasn't too much in the way of aircraft coming over my way, though I can see the attraction if it were busier.

Decided to cut my losses and after the descent headed over to the show area.

As there was less than two hours remaining of the display I thought perhaps a reduced price may be on offer, but sadly that wasn't the case.

So, I found a spot where I could park and caught the tail end of the flying display, then managed a few rewarding photos.

East Fortune Airshow 2012


This is my first visit to the East Fortune Airshow since 2009.

Not a lot has changed - and this is a good thing.

I felt the ground activities were quite poor, much preferred things like the 'Birds of Prey' than Cycle and Motorcycle stunts if I'm honest.

We had a call off with the Blimp - and these things are to be expected.

The 'Red Arrows' were - as always - excellent and everyone enjoys.

I missed the 'wingwalkers' and would have been great if we had the Vulcan flying at the show this year.

The weather was just plain awful - the rain came down like bullets in the very heavy showers - which put a dampener on some of the displays - very unfortunate.

As always the commentary was informative and well paced - much appreciated.
