Thanks Terry. I did find my pics of the two Nimrods Saturday. The did fly together and here are a few highlights:

Great shots Andy !
Pity they weren't both up on Sunday, but it was nice to see the MkII flying, at least. I've seen it many times at DX, but hadn't seen it fly until this show.

A few more of the Hurricanes and Sea Hurricane, Buchons and the 'Duxford' Mk1 Spitfire, plus a regal visitor in the form of a RAF V.I.P/Queen's Flight BAe 146. The pods on the rear fuselage prompted some speculative conversation between our group.
Hurricane 'UP-W' is a veteran of the Battle, with a number of 'victories'.

The Hawk 75 was only up Saturday. I did not get a good set of flying pics for this one.

Maybe not a good 'set' Andy, but there's nothing wrong with the ones you did get - great shots.
And yes Gary, you missed a good show and a couple or three very enjoyable pi ... er ... soirees !

Thanks Terry. Here's another formation unique to Saturday's show:

Nice !
We saw that from the campsite as they were orbiting to the north west of the airfield - the Typhoon was at a really steep nose-up angle, with its gear lowered, trying to fly slow enough !!
I hadn't realised, until seeing your pic, that the Spit was the Mk.V - in the past when they've done jet/Spit formation, they used the faster PR19 - no wonder the Typhoon was 'struggling' !!
