I'm still recovering from an enjoyable weekend. Here's a few more from the show on Saturday. Sorry Mark but I left as Ray Hanna was taking off to close the show to get out before the rush. Took me a couple of hours to get out of the airfield last year & Biggin is only about 1 hour from home.
Not making that mistake again. 8)
Sea Vixen with its nose in the air.
The beautiful Hunter. One of my favourite aircraft. Not sure if it's a T.7 or T.8 without looking it up.
One of Mark's mad mates. Now why would anyone with any sense jump out of a perfectly serviceable aeroplane? ???
Here's one of Charlie's tin cans.
Tornado landing after a nice display
I'm getting a little better at this lark. 8)
Best shot I got of the Bearcat.
I like this one. No, it's not really on fire. Must be the sun reflecting through the smoke but very effective don't you think? As usual some of my best shots happen by accident.

The Red Arrows and the B-17 shots are fantastic Doug, pity you missed Ray but I can understand not wanting to camp overnight to get out
There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Glad you like 'em Mark. There were 5 Spitfires at the show but as usual I didn't get any decent shots. I can't think why this should be as I have no problems with much faster aircraft like the Jag on a fast run. Maybe I'm trying too hard.

Thanks Craig. It is indeed tricky as because of the shutter delay you have to anticipate where they will be some time after pressing the button. I took your tip & kept both eyes open, like using my old telescope.

I'm used to it. I was a hot shot with that old telescope in my youth.
Next show is Duxford next weekend. Hoping to get some decent Spitfire shots but I'm none too confident.
Not sure which day I'll be going yet. Probably Saturday as there's a fly-in at Popham on Sunday. I should be so lucky. 8)

I had a feeling we'd see more... good stuff.
And you're right about the "both eyes" technique; definitely helps. I also used that technique when I had a refractor-type telescope... and I haven't gone cross-eyed yet.

Pity about the colours though.

Thank you.
It always surprises me which ones different people like best. Makes it worthwhile posting them.

I appreciate your comments. It's "Sally B" - the only airworthy B-17 based in the UK.

Well with 18 to choose from you should get a few me thinks
These are great shots pal, love the Red Arrows pics. I am looking forward to Sunday now as it seems ages ago that I was last at an airshow.

That's part of the problem. With all those beautiful aircraft coming at me from all directions I never know which one to point the camera at.

Thanks. Depending on the weather I'm looking at being there on Saturday.

Wow, beautiful planes! Shame we don't always get that kind of display, but I should drive down the hour to Ft. Lauderdale (I live West Palm Beach, FL) to the Air & Sea show next time thats around.
