Hi all,
Well despite all the worries I spent 3 days at Duxford, starting on the Friday for practise/arrival, then both days of the show. The Friday was a great day, but the show days were weird. On the Sunday I was sat there wondering if there actually was a show on, it was so quiet! (Although this meant getting out was a lot easier!). There didn't seem to be the atmosphere of a usual show, going to guess this is down to advance tickets only keeping families away. As for the flying display there were some gems amongst the line up, the bronco skyvan double act been particularly amazing, showing off the abilities of each airframe to their max.
As ever lighting from inside made photography difficult, anyhow here's a selection of my photos from the three days, hope they are of interest.

Nice shots !
I used the exact same combo (D7100 + Sigma 150-500mm) for years, without managing to get such good results (especially at focal length > 400mm).
I noticed that you used very small apertures (<f/13). I though that the best IQ with these lens was obtained with f/8.

I'll echo what's been said previously. This is the best set I've seen from this show, well done in what looked challenging conditions

Thanks for all the nice comments guys, I really appreciate it. Ill be honest I wasnt too sure over the weekend if I was really happy with the pics I was taking, but so long as you all like them Its always a bit of a challenge at Duxford with the light, but you just have to work with it and do your best
I agree around f.8 does give the nicest results, but I tend to prefer using a lower shutter speed and accept that I'm going to have to have small apertures. With how the crowd is positioned relative to the sun at Duxford, you don't really have a choice. I will admit though I do look at what f. stop I'm having to use on days like that and cringe a bit, its why I love Shuttleworth, sun behind you, low shutter speed and just enjoy
Cheers,
Ian
