RSAF Black Knights

[Robert.M]

I got out of Melbourne on the train just as the storm approached. Friday started off great but became overcast for the next 24 to 28 or so hours. Saturday wasn't much better, in fact it cleared a little too late in the day.

The Black Knights display was awesome though, kicking myself for not sticking around longer on Thursday (while the weather remained mostly sunny). Again great pics Grahame

I hear a rumour that the Black Knights... erm... 'missed' the target (AWM) somewhat on Saturday...?

One street over was my mail....but there may have been some dodgy weather that contributed.

They went up over constitution bridge and over the city rather than up Anzac parade and the AWM.

These guys were completely awesome! But as Robert M says, the weather on Saturday (also when I went) was very very average. The sky was quite overcast when they performed.

It was a weather divert, there was a storm cell that was too close to allow the planned pass down Anzac Parade. As the crew were waiting at the holding point they faced a decision of either calling it off or changing the planned track. They decided that doing something was better than doing nothing and headed down Commonwealth Avenue. Note that the RAAF PC9 photo-ship bugged out early and returned to WLM because of the weather.

Fair call then, Ray!
