Description

Once a year, as a thank you for putting up with all the noise from the local bombing range, the Royal Air Force send their aerobatic team, the Red Arrows, to put on a display over the Dornoch Firth. The planes are British Aerospace Hawk Fast Jet Trainers, top speed 645mph and flying as close together as 100 feet during their display. For whisky lovers amongst you the buildings bottom left of the picture are The Glenmorangie Distillery.

More images to follow from this display over the next 2/3 days - I took about 100 but it was quite dark due to low cloud and rain, and the autofocus and servo drive on my Canon were not too keen on working in the prevailing conditions! I need to sort through them very carefully to select images worthy of Flickr!
