The Breitling Watch Source Forums

It's the Waddington Air Show in the UK this weekend.

I had the absolute pleasure of joining Breitling UK and Andrew Michaels in their hospitality suite.

Even though I live only 6 miles from from Waddington I had never been to the show before (only heard it going on ). Sam of Andrew Micheals promised me I would be converted by the end of the day and he was right. It was an unbelievable specatacle through out. The Flying Displays were awe inspiring.

Many many thanks to Andrew Michaels for the invite for me and my two friends.

If you ever get a chance to visit one of these airshows then I would highly recommend enjoying it in the company of Breitling and Andrew Michaels. Air conditioned tent, free drinks, a nice place to sit down, a Breitling technician to check and regulate your watch and experienced staff to show you more Breitlings than you could ever wish to see in one place. How could you ask for any more?

Here are a few pictures of the hospitality suite and the highlights of the flying displays (Apologies in advance for the amateur photos).











The Turkish display team were brilliant and gave the home grown Red Arrows and lot to follow:


The Vulcan is close to the hearts of everyone at Waddington:


The RAF Parachute Display team:


In recognition of the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain a Spitfire performed a great display with the latest tech-filled jet fighter:


The Red Arrows were simply awe inspiring. A shame that one of the pilots was missing through illness:


However, the highlight of the day for me was the almost balletic display by the Hawk as it hovered just 100 metres off the ground slowly spinning on the spot, tipping it's nose down and performing an aeronautical dressage. The noise was incredible:

Thank very much to Andrew Michaels for a great day, i really enjoyed it. Also thanks to Phil from Breitling U.K for removing a couple of links from my Chronomat. Nice to see photo 2 of a famous forum member spending cash ? or Checking out fakes ? . Heres a couple of photos from Saturday. Me and Patrick from Northern Ireland enjoying some liquid hospitality.

The Turkish Stars in F5's, The commentator for these guys was one of the highlights of the show.

If I may, ricardo, this is a Harrier and not a Hawk. The "bow" figure of the Harrier is a classic.

But I envy you , as it seems that you had the chance to assist to a superb Air Show

I like the picture of the pilots bellying up at the bar!

What a coincidence - that's me with Sam getting a new strap for my Aerospace

Sorry I missed you though I did have a chat with Happy Chappie

My favourite shot of the day

I remember seeing you there. In fact you were having your links removed as I was waiting to have my SOHC checked on Phil's timing machine (+1 seconds per day incidentally ). If I had known I would have come and introduced myself. Maybe next time.

Thank You for the clarification. I did mean to type Harrier. I guess I should stick to writing about watches, hey?

Brilliant shot of the Vulcan (I do know that one ) Mr Sharkmouth.

It would have been nice to have spoken at the show. I will definitely be there next year and hope to see some of you there to put faces to pen names.

Hi Sharkie,

Is this the one you helped restore? If that's affirmative, then a truly great job and what a satisfaction for you to enjoy its low-pass
