A bit Disappointing?
This year of all years one was expecting much more than was on offer at the now annual Wales National Air Show? But it was Llandudno in North-Wales that got the armed forces day and not us?
The promised PBY Catalina flying boat was cancelled and instead we got the Hawker Sea Fury, many of the usual's where here, but we were limited to only the Boeing-Vertol CH-47 Chinook helicopter and the gyro-copter.
Friday and Saturday was spent up at Swansea airport taking in both the arrivals of Biggles, the Chinook and then their various take-offs and some returns from the Air Show in Swansea Bay, this combined with my love of birds paid off!
Later down the Mumbles one got the see the Red Arrows in a better light as their display filled the bay!

Wales National Air Show 2018?
Prelude to it!
2018 promises to be something different with a tribute to the Royal Air forces 100th year and the end of World War-I (1914-18). Both German and British bi-planes historical aircraft of the 1918 period are to fly with many other new exhibits, such as the Catalina flying boat of World War-II?
Much of the same will be here again as last year in military equipment and aircraft, obviously my request was ignored since this event must be well planned ahead or the items are lacking due to operational and national security issues?
If the weather holds up it is expected to be another fantastic year for the everyone concerned, blue skies will produce some spectacular pictures and quality filming!
One would encourage everyone to have ago, even some of the basic digital cameras can still produce some not bad films and memories of the day?
