Last week NDP 2012 was again a rainy affair but thankfully, it was only trickling by the time the show started. VIP of the day was Defence Minister Dr Ng Eng Han. As to be expected, the fireworks display was about 80% of the actual day NDP fireworks and the airforce decided to make things a little more exciting. Coming performances will be a good time to have super telephoto lens and ultra wide angle for the aerial show as well as the fireworks.
