Rhyl Airshow 21/22 July 2012

I picked up a leaflet advertising the above & it says there will be model aircraft as well as full size . Any ideas ???

RDMFC haven't been contacted as far as I'm aware.

Did anyone go, weren't the Tornado's awesome.

Any pics

'nado's are wicked, went both days had a ball, great having some quality full size displays on our doorstep,

Took some vid yesterday but not much and took a shed load of pics on Dads camera today so hopefully some good ones will aper.

I know John Barrows was asked to take his Lancaster. He did on Saturday but it got damaged overnight when a gust of wind blew his gazebo and Lanc. over. We took it back home Sunday morning, not badly damaged though,

Shame the club wasn't informed, sure we could have taken some more stuff down.

Yep John was there, surrounded by loads of interested enthusiasts all day.
Pity about the damage overnight from the wind gust catching the Gazebo.
Just slight tailplane damage....repairable

Went on Saturday & very good for a free airshow. Liked the 'Reds' , good picture opportunities & the Valley display hawk was really colourful -- I think they should adopt the scheme for the 'Reds' .The Extra was very good & with a gut wrenching display ! I was surprised at how good the RV-8 pair were too. The 22 squadron helicopter / lifeboat display was good as it was close in & people could see what was going on - question is who was the pilot ? was it or wasn't it ???
Overall very good show but the pair of 'Tonkas' were the highlight .... can't beat lots of noise & fast jets scooting about with their arms folded behind their backs! I am sorry I missed the KC-135 on the Sunday !
