F-22A Raptor
I've been at the Royal International Air Tattoo for the past week, it was a really good time even if it was a bit wet for a few of the days.
Still trying to import all of my photos into Lightroom to process them, but just one that stood out for the moment:
The newest toy in the inventory of the USAF, the F-22A Raptor displays in the Summer skies of England over RAF Fairford during RIAT 2010.

Sussex Air Ambulance
Last Weekend I managed to get a chance to take a trip up to Dunsfold to take some photos for the Sussex Air Ambulance.
The Sussex Air Ambulance responds rapidly to 999 calls with a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS), serving the people who live, work or travel through the counties of East and West Sussex.
Their highly skilled team of Doctors, Paramedics and Nurses can arrive at the scene of most emergencies anywhere in Sussex within 15 minutes to provide swift medical intervention.
Patients can be transferred by air, fast and unhindered to an appropriate major hospital of specialist unit, dramatically improving chances of survival and a speedy recovery.
Please support the fantastic work they do by Donating Now.
Don't forget to take a trip to Dunsfold yourself on the 11th of July for the Air Ambulance Open Day to meet the crew, have a look around the helicopter and even meet some Daleks and Storm Troopers!

Beach Sunset
A shot taken last night down on Shoreham Beach near Widewater, with Worthing Pier lit up in the distance and the time exposure blurring the movements of the waves to produce a calm sea effect.
