VW was probably the most popular manufacturer at the Lincs: Evolution exhibition. It wasn't all vintage Beetles however. Recent VW hatchbacks and camper vans also featured.

Linseed

A couple of months ago we saw this field covered in blue flowers. The harvest of linseed is ripening nicely now.

Linseed is used in the production of linoleum (the clue's in the name I guess!), putty and linseed oil for treating wood (famously, cricket bats). With synthetic replacements for all of these, the main use today is in food: linseed is high in omega 3.

Bracebridge Heath, Lincoln.

Skywatch Friday (Waddington Airshow)

In this photo Frecce Tricolori, an Italian display team, are trying to create the world's longest Italian flag (is that a Guinness World Records category?). The team were very entertaining - as well as their airborne antics, the Italian commentator kept the audience fully involved: "Another incredible manouevre" and "Get your cameras ready ... 3 ... 2 ... 1"). Well worth seeing ... and hearing if you get the chance.

I <3 Waddington

I <3 Waddington
I heart Waddington, a photo by lincoln_eye on Flickr.
A couple of weeks ago, I posted a picture of a heart sky drawing, which prompted some discussion about whether the two pilots were in love with the same girl. Here we see the South Korean Black Eagles display team with their multi colour version of the heart: it's the eternal love quadrilateral. Did someone say "cupid stunt" ? :-)

Props to the Black Eagles for adjusting their display to paint this horizontally under low cloud - it's usually done vertically.

Waddington is one of the country's major airshows and featured international aircraft and teams from as far afield as South Korea and New Zealand. Local favourites included the Red Arrows, an RAF WWII fly past and duelling Tornadoes (very loud).

It was mostly overcast, windy and cold with rain at times. 15C was the max temperature!
