The Red Arrows arrive over Leuchars after a display at the Scottish Game fair at Scone. I could not believe how immaculate this formation was.

Note that only the Hawk top centre has a navigation light showing.

I almost arrived too late in the morning to get any photos of the Red Arrows arriving.

This picture is sub standard but I am exercising my prerogative for no other reason than I like the composition.

The colour of the passengers flight suit threw me until I realised that the passenger was the tenth member of the the Red Arrows team. He was being ferried back to Leuchars after providing the commentary at Scone.

This KC135R has been given a new lease of life with the application of new fuel efficient, quieter and less smoky engines.

Note the little vortices coming off the wing tips.

A pair of tonkas get airborne by what seems to be the liberal application of curry powder into the exhausts. Gives re-heat a whole new meaning.

Strange how the exhausts change from sooty black to yellow.
