It genuinely warms my cockles to see Tornados.

[ianjackson]

Watched your stuff for years.... always top quality footage. Man I miss 'proper' airshows !


Cheers from NZ (formerly from sunny Liverpool).

The GR4 tornado & the sea harrier, plus the spitfire are absolutely legends.

The pilots showboating is awesome to see, like a blackbird sunbathing in your garden. "Hey look at this!"

[sanjayraju]

Excellent, I can’t wait to see your footage of the F-15 EX

[fredtedstedman]

[DafyddPhillips]

German tornado manoeuvre here should be standard from all jets on arrival 🙏😁

[bobingram]

1:22 - Cinderella followed by an Ugly Sister!!! Throw in a Tonka every now and then and I'm happy😂😂 The old A-4 has put on a bit of weight, nearly didn't recognise it!!! Are you doing one with more heavies🤔?? Top stuff as always Elwyn👍👍👍👍

[keltacuk]

Brilliant as usual Elwyn...I can almost smell the get there this year!

[SF-kuhp]

It would be cool if a Vulcan showed up.

[NotEddie]

My school is near to the air tatoo. At lunch time we saw fighter jets and Boeing sentreys.

Brilliant stuff! I had travelled over from Carmarthen, three hours on the road, got into Cheltenham at 0900, did my stuff in there and then thought to myself, 'hang on... Fairford is only a short diversion'... so that's what I did! Good decision too as I managed to get some really superb pics. Maybe I should have done Fairford first and then head towards Cheltenham, because looking at your post here, I missed the F35's!!! Still, a great Day though, and did get to see the Red Arrows perform their shortest transit ever from Oxford to Fairford 😛 but what a return back to base!!! I noticed too that there are TWO spares this Season! Is this a new idea, to have two spares??

[davidtozer]

Elwyn R, that made my Bloody Day Cheers But ! 👌
