Oh well

Yesterday, late afternoon, there was a thunderous roar. Rushing to the garden the Gorse Fox and Silver Vixen were just in time to see the Vulcan fly past towards Shoreham for its display at the air show.

Today we thought we would be prepared.

The Gorse Fox checked the times and charged the camera. With twenty-five minutes to spare we headed to the beach to catch sight of this elegant, graceful, awesome V-bomber as it headed to Shoreham for today's display.

And so we sat there.

A couple of piston engined WW2 fighters went over.

Then in the distance, The Gorse Fox spotted the plane as it appeared over the beach at Bognor and headed towards us. Camera at the ready, he lined up his shots.

It would appear that nobody had told the pilot. Whereas yesterday he he left wheel marks on the roof tops, today he decided to stay out in the bay. Photos from the camera were disappointing - and those from the phone, missed the action entirely.
