And watched squadrons of something or other flying over Dunbar later in the afternoon.</p> <p>*Relatively. 5 or 6 cars passed me instead of the usual none. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16646#post-225550 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 23:38:14 +0000 Arellcat 225550@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I didn't fancy paying £22 to visit the airshow, so I went to Traprain Law instead. I had planned to climb to the top, but I took some wrong turns en route and lost a load of time, so I just watched from the road on the north side. From there my big lens could really do with being twice as big (or I need more pixels in my camera).</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/K2rAoj"><img src="https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8799/28239650990_5fdfe018a6.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="https://flic.kr/p/K2rAoj">Flying machines</a></p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/KsuYbB"><img src="https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8535/28523222055_67445c3353.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="https://flic.kr/p/KsuYbB">Traprain flypast</a></p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/Jw2zBL"><img src="https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8693/27906787334_4a2635ae11.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="https://flic.kr/p/Jw2zBL">Acrobatically</a></p> <p>I had a nice view of North Berwick Law, though:</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/K2rzWC"><img src="https://c5.staticflickr.com/9/8766/28239649500_34267eda88.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="https://flic.kr/p/K2rzWC">It&#x27;s the law</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16646#post-225531 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 10:26:02 +0000 wingpig 225531@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Someone really needs to fix up a Lightning so that it can be the noisiest thing at airshows now that the Vulcan isn't around to be louder than the Typhoon. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16646#post-225526 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 20:34:52 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 225526@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Can't really have any complaints with a big long ride, an airshow, and some nice wildlife spots today. The airshow website now has cycling directions (though I mostly ignored those...) and the same as last time (2013) I've gone, got in without having to show a ticket. Very odd.</p> <p>Nice show, always reminds me of being a kid and being taken to Leuchars airshow as a surprise. Pity that after 48 miles or so of riding, it was a Lothian Buses X15 driver who squeezed me out just before some coned off roadworks, to try and spoil it...</p> <p>You may guess from the shots that the sky was somewhat grey...</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/KfRfhd"><img src="https://c5.staticflickr.com/9/8820/28391380492_d81b4f3753_n.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/KfRfhd">Red Arrows_3</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/">Anthony Robson</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/KnjWrq"><img src="https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8245/28464682586_340d64a012_n.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/KnjWrq">Black Cats</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/">Anthony Robson</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/KihgEv"><img src="https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8569/28418895941_0185577cae_n.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/KihgEv">Swordfish_1</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/">Anthony Robson</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/Kqa2HP"><img src="https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8620/28496698725_b3e26dc3eb_n.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/Kqa2HP">Strikemaster</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/">Anthony Robson</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/KfSwNY"><img src="https://c5.staticflickr.com/8/7635/28391631212_b0f6632e8a_n.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/KfSwNY">Loach_1</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/">Anthony Robson</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/JtFTMA"><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8351/27880313224_95140d839c_n.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/JtFTMA">Typhoon_3</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/">Anthony Robson</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/JZ8Ssw"><img src="https://c3.staticflickr.com/8/7703/28213560050_beffce7317_n.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/JZ8Ssw">Mustang_1</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/">Anthony Robson</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/JZ939q"><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8656/28213592640_39cb4ca289_n.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/JZ939q">Catalina_1</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/">Anthony Robson</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/KfTcKL"><img src="https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8265/28391762222_69a64f0bcb_n.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/KfTcKL">Junkmann</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/">Anthony Robson</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/JtGM3S"><img src="https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8863/27880485674_097de411af_n.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/JtGM3S">Starduster</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/">Anthony Robson</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/KiizJp"><img src="https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8065/28419151831_28f311830b_n.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/KiizJp">Pitts Special_4</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/">Anthony Robson</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/Kqb4u2"><img src="https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8643/28496899765_4382ca0fe6_n.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/Kqb4u2">Huey</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/">Anthony Robson</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/KiiHQV"><img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/9/8867/28419179121_198f240370_n.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/KiiHQV">Vampires</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/">Anthony Robson</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/JZ9VSL"><img src="https://c5.staticflickr.com/9/8695/28213766660_e315ec7102_n.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/JZ9VSL">Mig 15</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/">Anthony Robson</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/JtHqaN"><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/8/7555/27880610544_05f2486300_n.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/JtHqaN">Spitfire and Hurricane</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/">Anthony Robson</a>, on Flickr </p>
