Cheers

Charlie

Very nice Charlie. That new camera seems to be working a treat. I like the close-up of the Spit in particular. Grin

Glad you posted these before my static shots. I have some similar ones that I might post later & don't want to hog the show. I'll wait & see what you & Tempest come up with before I post any more.

PS. I think you can see what I mean about Duxford being the wrong way round for my style of photography. Shoreham is just the same on show days. Generally speaking, shots taken in the static park (your Sea Hawk & Tucano for example) are much clearer than the ones on the flight line as the sun is behind you.

They have quite a few vintage jet airliners on static display at Duxford. Not quite sure why as it's part of the Imperial War Museum. http://duxford.iwm.org.uk/server/show/ConWebDoc.1188
Unfortunately most of them stand outside in all weathers & deteriorate over time.
