Bigcrow's Review of 2011 (More Added)
Hi Guys
Here is my review of 2011, up until July second part of the year to follow…
January-RAF Northolt First nightshoot of the year at Northolt proved to be an excellent event with the highlight being Martin Baker’s Meteor.
January-SPTA A very cold but productive visit to exercise ‘Pastun Jaguar’ at the end of January, produced some nice results.
March-Boscombe Down/SPTA A day in the Salisbury area in great light.
RAF Mildenhall A day of heavy’s with three Galaxy’s visiting..
May-Mach Loop My only visit to Wales this year produced some outstanding passes from 13 Squadron before they disbanded the following day.
June-Throckmorton The Help for Heroes Airshow saw International participation for the first time with two A109’s from the Belgium Armed Forces.
June-The Cotswold Air show Kemble celebrated the 60th Anniversary of the Hawker Hunter, a great turn out for this iconic aircraft.
RAF Waddington This years show manage to secure the Thunderbirds on there European Tour.
July-Duxford-Flying Legends Duxford's premier show, was held in changable conditions and the sad loss of ‘Big Beautiful Doll’
RIAT-RAF Fairford It may have been down on numbers but there was still a lot of interesting airframes to shoot.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year

Re: Bigcrow's Review of 2011 (Updated)
As promised second part of my review of last year.
August-SPTA A second visit to the SPTA for exercise ‘Pastun Jaguar 11-02’
Bruntingthorpe-Cold War Jets Open Day Always a good day out seeing these old classics being fired up.
September-Duxford The 75th Anniversary of the Spitfire & the sun shone to produce some nice results. Highlight being the Eagle flown by the Seymour Johnson display pilot.
Kemble The BOB Air Show was down on numbers, thankfully the BOB Flight put on a great show.
RAF Mildenhall Second visit to the Hall & the US Navy & Marines were out in force.
October-RAF Coningsby A busy day in great Autumn light.
December-RAF Brize Norton Last trip of the year produced some great sunsets.
A Happy New Year to all. See you at the fence or a hillside in 2012.
Happy Shooting....

Superb set Stu, real quality throughout. Love the first Typhoon sunset, and the close-up of the Vulcan landing at RIAT.

Cheers guys, it hasn't been a vintage year for me and it's a shame the sun didn't shine more...
Re: Bigcrow's Review of 2011 (More Added)
Agreed Stu, not a vintage year but you used the Western End at RIAT to its best, the B-52 shot is stunning, really liking the Marine Corps stuff at Mildy too!
