A Son of the Rock

The Saturday before last we went to St Andrews for the afternoon.

It’s one of our favourite places. We stopped at the Botanic Gardens to look at the plants for sale.

By coincidence it was the day of the Leuchars Air Show. The assistant mentioned that she hadn’t heard the aeroplanes much so far. On the way back to the car (50 metres?) we were subjected to a blast of sound and 8 aircraft in formation swung over the trees. I didn’t have my camera out then unfortunately, but I did later.

I just timed this right to get four aircraft above the church in South Street.

Here’s one of four in formation.

And this is “patriotic” smoke trails.

The eight halfway decent photos I took are on my flickr site.

I’m glad I got the pictures because with the RAF leaving Leuchars soon there won’t be many more opportunities.
