Weren't really expecting to see the Red Arrows back here again so soon, so it was a pleasant surprise to see they were coming to do a display for our National Day. We should have had a public holiday both for National Day and the Sultan's birthday, which was yesterday but the Sultan decreed that the holiday will now be next week instead. I was quite narked as it meant I wouldn't get to see the show.

However, as luck would have it, hubster managed to get off work early and came to pick me up. Traffic was so bad we nearly missed the show and we couldn't park up, as the traffic was gridlocked so I took these pics from inside the car some distance back from the beach, otherwise the pics would have been a bit more dramatic as the planes seemed to be very close in. It was very difficult to catch some of the shots because, with buildings on either side of me, I couldn't see when the planes were coming or where they were coming from. Some of my pics just ended up with puffs of vapour on them.
