Night Flying at Coningsby - 20th Jan
Night Flying at Coningsby - 20th Jan
Hi there,
After visiting Cranwell on the 20th Jan to see the Dominie's for the last time I went over to Coningsby for the rest of the afternoon. After a few recoveries
when I first arrived things were pretty quiet before there was a series of departures about 45 minutes before dusk. With the sunset shaping up nicely I was hopeful
that there would be the opportunity for some nice sunset shots when they returned. Sadly this wasn't to be the case as they weren't to return until
long after the light had gone. Still, there were some further departures into the setting sun before eventually a chance to practice some low speed, hand held
shooting; not the greatest combination, but hopefully still some interesting results:
A couple that aren't the sharpest in the world, but I thought were worth showing:
And finally a few from earlier in the afternoon:
'Negative Ghostrider; the pattern is full'
Thanks for looking & C&C welcome.
Geoff

Really like the 10th shot there - might not be the sharpest, but it's got atmosphere.

Really like No. 6 & 7 with the landing lights. Excellent set all round.
Re: Night Flying at Coningsby - 20th Jan
Many thanks for the positive comments; I'm glad you liked them.
I always find it interesting seeing which shots other people prefer. They rarely seem to correspond with the ones that I prefer so I'm glad that I don't only post those
In this batch my favourites are shots 6 & 7, the two of the Typhoon on approach, as I thought it was quite impressive that I'd got anything at all shooting into the near darkness!
Anyway, thanks for the kind comments

Re: Night Flying at Coningsby - 20th Jan
My favourite is the 5th !!!
Re: Night Flying at Coningsby - 20th Jan
Huh, number 3 for me. Just not the sort of shot you'd expect to get over here. Maybe some F15's in the US, but the Typhoon at Coningsby makes it a harder catch.
Re: Night Flying at Coningsby - 20th Jan
Well done with those, shots 3,5 & 10 for me.
