A simple text message of Eric, asking if I was interested in going to the Shackerstone Festival on Sunday, where I would see the Red Arrows, lead to a very good day out with more to see (and photograph) than I though.
With no work for a while this event would be the first time this year that I had seen the Red Arrows, who had been forced to cancel many of their engagements following an accident earlier in the year.
So after Duncan and Eric picked me up, then Suzy and Steve, the five of us headed for the festival.
Below are some of the photographs from the day:
