2010 07 19 Departures RIAT Fairford

On Monday I witnessed the departures at Fairford.  Highlights were the helicopters hoovering just a  few metres in front of the crowd before take-off and the F-22 that took off and caom back after given a demonstration at Farnborough.
A very enjoyable day with splendid weather and a good amount of activity.
