Those magnificent men





We celebrated our 15th anniversary in style at the weekend at the Royal Dartmouth Regatta no less. During the day we saw a myriad boats and ships of all types, rowing, sailing, a couple of frigates and everything in between. then we watched a display of the new Typhoon bomber being put through it's paces, a dancing Chinook helicopter, a Harrier jump jet and finally and most breathtakingly, the Red Arrows, the RAF's display team.


Some of the stunts are really death defying like the picture above with some of the aircraft flying upside down.

Or how about this one where they pass in mid-air just a few feet apart?

Later in the day we watched the Firework finale whilst the band of the Royal Marines played in accompaniment sharing a celebratory plate of chips on the riverside as we watched. The perfect end to a perfect day.

Blogger doesn't want my fireworks picture so you'll have to wait for that one!
