Torbay Airshow
On Friday and Saturday 29-30th May 2026 I went to the Torbay English Riviera Airshow. The Friday display was held in the evening starting at 6pm which was brilliant as the sun was lower in the sky and behind me. With the flying in front the light was absolutely perfect. Unfortunately on the Saturday the sun was directly above as the flying stared at midday which meant the colours were not so good with strong shadows, plus a heat haze which made it very hard to get images as good and sharp as the previous evening. All the images after the fireworks were taken on the Saturday.
