We missed yesterday's flypast so got all organised for today's flypast It was due about 12.30pm so we assembled a cocktail and determined to sit out on the deck till we heard the thundering engines. It took a while and by the time we were on our 2nd cocktail we found out it was delayed by 2 hours! After the 5th cocktail (I"m joking) from the time I heard the noise and identified the sight it was only about 5 seconds! This was just blooming lucky - I didn't even see it to focus the camera!
Thankful for:
After all those cocktails and only nuts to nourish us, we managed to survive and were pleased with our day! It was daylight saving time so time had no significance!

They are noisy lumbering aircraft. Sounds a relaxing day.

What a fun narrative, at least you had a good day und the plane is well recognizable.

Sounds like a fun way to spend the afternoon! It might have been hard to focus on it so quickly even without the cocktails! :)

[Lou Ann]

My goodness, it’s huge. Two big engines on each wing. Your day sounds perfect!

Well done considering the cocktails and the time allowed to focus before the subject was gone from view

Always a pleasure to see, not the most comfortable ride though.
