Fairford 2018 best pics (2 per customer)

[HeyfordDave111]

Hi everyone,
Thought it might be a good idea to have a section for Fairford 18 pics.

now i know theres a temptation to show off and show loads, so i invite everyone, live side, staff or just us joe public to put ONLY 2 photographs of your Fairford, beit the aircraft, formations, 2000ft flypasts, staff, security nightmares, parking stupidity, anything, as long as its RIAT 2018 and taken between the Wednesday to end of Departures Monday.

Remember only 2, no more.

Go for it.
Cheers
Dave

Remember only 2, no more.

So why does the title say "1 per customer"?

[tankbuster]

just to say I think this is a really good idea. I will watch it's development with interest whereas I shall probably ignore the posts from people posting 30 shots that look very similar to the last person to post 30 shots.

[pbeardmore]

I assume it's one post per customer ?

OK, I'm up for that. We can start from the bottom with these 2 and improve as we go along....

Probably my favourite one, although my satisfaction level is commensurate with my ability. But I don't care so there.



And his "interesting" last pass on Friday as seen from Totterdown.

Love that last one, the top of the tree in the bottom right really sums up that moment.

Nikon D3200 and 18-140mm lens, fine for static but Next year i definitely want a longer reach for the flying as vast majority of photos i took were just to small. hope to get better next year!

Hi

A couple from me (never really posted before, certainly not pics). I really loved the Italians this year and the Flanker was cool. I thought though the best display was the Swiss F-18, just wow.

Anyway, no-where near as good as the others on here (some are amazing) but these acts made me smile.
Thanks

Here's two from me, both Flanker related, of course. Many more to come.

That is by far a belter of a shot!

Also, strictly speaking this is a themed photo thread.

I'll move it there (plus there it is less likely to be lost amongst a deluge of RIAT threads and more likely to be seen by more people).

The Tornado/F-35 breaking above is terrific

A full thread will come in due course, but these are my favourite two images of my week

My two FWIW. Both from Saturday. Overall I've been a bit disappointed with my Saturday shots. Friday was a case of trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!
