Re: 10th Anniversary Abingdon Air & Country Show
If im honest I wasnt listening to the commentary much, our group banter was much more entertaining. FC was mentioned in the list of sponsors at the front of the programme, under the Hawk image and as you say the full page advert.

Re: 10th Anniversary Abingdon Air & Country Show
Big thanks from me for looking after the FC boys, and the package provided in return for FighterControl's sponsorship of the 2009 RAF Hawk at Abingdon 2009. I can highly recommend sponsoring an act to anybody/group. I feel ive done my bit for the community this year! Cheers Dunk There was no mentio...

sorry more Abingdon (12 photos)
Not as happy with these as I could be but in my defence i'd only had the 40d less than 24 hours, not as forgiving as my 400d when you get the settings wrong! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v636/portugeeza77/show1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v636/portugeeza77/show091.jpg http://img.photo...

Sigma 10-20mm?
Anyone used one of these for static aircraft? Does the image distort much? Thinking of buying one as its alot cheaper than the Canon 10-22mm
