I didn't quite get it! But someone would have. On the top of the hill overlooking Fowey, we were camped out at the official Red Arrows watching site. Just behind us, was Red Arrows number 10 giving us a commentary. The scene was set for an awesome display. The boys were frothing. And then as we were given the 30 second countdown the heaven's opened!! It poured. The show continued, it was wet, but amazing. Down the valleys, through the valleys, up the estuary, the planes were coming from everywhere, first in formation and then man on man racing towards each other at top speed.
The skies started to clear leaving the most perfect, brightest, most complete rainbow, stretching out across Fowey and touching both sides of the river. That alone would have been enough as we stood watching from our lofty position. And then it happened. From out of the gloom beyond the rainbow we saw the lights as the Red Arrows approached. They flew straight through the rainbow and then banked with the blue red and white smoke trailing from their tails right in front of us. It was truly memorable.
Someone would have got the shot. I only had my mobile with a poxy 2mp's to catch the moment. But expect to see the money shot in the Red Arrow promo shots from here on in.
This is my rubbish mobile phone photo! This is not the money shot!
