[Updated] Rjlaker's Airbourne - from Beachy Head

[rjlaker]

Hi all,
My season drew to an early close this weekend due to the forthcoming birth of our 1st child any day now! I went to Eastbourne for a couple of days - Friday with my wife, and on my own yesterday to beachy head. I wasn't expecting to see anything when i arrived it was thick fog - you couldn't see the other end of the car park, never mind the town! It lifted in time though and we got a good day. A lot of pilots played ball too and we got some lovely passes. On with the shots:

Tutor shots for me ( ), although Miss D and two Spitfire shots are also crackers.

All the best to you and your wife with the new arrival.

Brilliant work buddy, first Tutor, first Spitfire and the BBMF lighthouse shot are all absolute winners

A good set with a great back drop

Nice work. Could be some POTW contenders there.

[timuss]

You must have been stood right by me then? I was the guy with the Vulcan cap battling with the wind. You came away with some cracking shots though

[JohnH]

Great shots of the Spitfire followed very closely by the Hunter.

Cheers for the comments, guys. Timuss - If I'd have known that was you, I'd have come across and said hello! It was a bit of a struggle in that wind wasn't it!

Likewise were you shooting with the Sony Gear with the scanner??

[rjlaker]

That was me - think I was standing next to you... also battling the wind on the section of cliff before it got too steep!

[rjlaker]

Cheers, guys.
Rich - I was using a Sony A350 and Sony 70-400mm. Here are a few more:
