Watcher of the Skies - Genesis

It was intended to feature the exciting album
In the Plain by Savage Rose 
as Today's Headline but wouldn't be able to put up with the GROANS
 Watcher of the skies watcher of all
His is a world alone no world is his own,
He whom life can no longer surprise,
Raising his eyes beholds a planet unknown.
While it is certain the Mountain ain't going to Mohamed we are determined that the Bournemouth Air Festival will come to our readership. The Air Space around East Dorset has been full of the powerful sounds of an eclectic mix of aircraft forcing me into phoning the Noise Abatement Society twice. Anyway, with a little help from a friend (Andy, a teenage enthusiast, who is staying at the same Caravan Site as myself) we will try and put the 'correct' label under each of the images, and if not Janet Read and Roy Norris be at the ready please!
 Despite some mighty powerful and historic machines hereabouts over
the weekend it is without doubt that the
RED ARROWS
are the 'crowd-pleasers'.
 APACHE HELICOPTER
 EURO-FIGHTER
TYPHOON
 The Hawker Hunter
MISS DEMEANOUR
a 'dramatic bit of kit' this.
 HM COASTGUARD RESCUE LYNX HELICOPTER
 SEA VIXEN
HURRICANE
 Great Britain's
LANCASTER BOMBER
 unfortunately the only other flying example of this mighty aircraft,
owned by the Canadians, was grounded due to technical difficulties.
TUCANO T-1
Another
HURRICANE
 METEOR
 SEA VENOM
DON'T KNOW
(Roy/Janet)
 The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries
TWIN OTTER
OIL-SPILL RESPONSE AIRCRAFT
IN-FLIGHT TRAINING SIMULATOR
 HERCULES TRANSPORT
Royal Navy
MERLIN HELICOPTER
LYNX WILDCAT
During most of this helicopter activity I was hidden under the table,
thinking that they may have come to take me back to the Oil Rig.
 DAKOTA
Dare I say
SPITFIRE??
 and to end today's show a 'final pass' by the
 RED ARROWS
 There are more photographs in the Editing Process which, with a fair wind and high cloud base, we might be able to get to you tomorrow?? - ENJOY!
