I see a barn owl, little owl, then not sure..but I think it's a great horn owl, =O

 

[Oli]

Possibly. There was also an Eagle Owl, but it was wrongly positioned for photographing.
Personally I was far more interested in the Soko Kraguj, the ex-GDR SA-8 Gecko and XH558 (which they cancelled the flight of at the last minute, bastards).

So...I ended up using google because I had no goddamn clue what kind of "birds" those are. And it turns out that those birds can actually throw bombs at us!

 

[Oli]

Er nearly.
The Kraguj is a light counter-insurgency type
XH558 is the last flying (when it actually does fly) Vulcan in the world (and only ever bombed once in the entire service career of the type: in the Falklands war)
and the SA-8 is a self-propelled anti-aircraft missile system, the one at the show currently being borrowed by the RAF.

You take any pictures of the planes, Oli?

Oh yeah: still sorting and cataloguing them.
But I'll post a link when they're done.

 

[MacGyver1968]

That would be great. I'm sure me and Killjoy would enjoy them...although I think he would enjoythem in a more...carnal way.

Not sure if I'm happy with it yet.

The flowers above are dry, the summer is too hot. More flowers and some vegetables from the backyard of the castle:

Thanks, Enmos, I didn't realize that there are many nice places near my place. All places that I visited this weekend are in less than one hour distance >.<

I'll upload some more photos..
