There was no real issue, it looks close-ish from this angle but a look at the full sequence shows you the true layout.

It was a bit too high to hear, apparently it's got an unusual sound. Certainly has an unusual appearance. And next year, a civilian version will be available to buy, and fly. About $25 million to you.

A bit of a bonus - Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Spitfire AB910 had been performing a full display at Seaton and came along to Dartmouth for a couple of flyby runs up and down the river. That evocative sound and wonderful sight never fails to inspire. Almost exactly eighty years ago on 19th August 1942 this very aircraft flew in one of the largest air battles of any war throughout history. Sixty two Spitfires were lost that day.

AUGUST 2022 TVFTDO
Plenty of pix from The Port of Dartmouth Regatta 2022
But masses of other stuff too.
A few rare birds. An Osprey and five Eagles. Capital letters because they are aircraft. United States Air Force Aircraft.
Misbehaving jet skiers galore. (Not all jet skiers misbehave. Not even the majority do, but too many this August).
There are 326 TVFTDO Photos in this album over 7 pages. Click on a thumbnail to see it larger.
And.....you can even start a slide show.
