Haven't been to a Legends in 6 years and yes, it was tamer than I remember (and definitely less busy) and no 'exotic' stars as was often the case, no Hurricanes, only 2 Mustangs (I shed a few tears at this point) - obviously some shenanigans going on with the 2 US P-51s departing Friday, and if only...

Thanks!!

Good evening All,

Does anyone know what the crowd capacity is at Old Warden? I have a figure of around 6,000 in my head but would be grateful for any confirmation.

Cheers
Andy

As it says on the tin!
1 spare adult ticket for Saturday's Meet the Fighters show at Duxford (I am going with some friends but 1 has dropped out) - eticket which I can email - selling for £20 - this does NOT include a car parking ticket!
Please PM me if your interested.
Cheers

Lovely

I was dubious about back button focusing when I first read about it and, on the surface, it doesn't seem to offer any technical advantage. However, since using it my aerial pics have been consistently sharper, particularly during high fps bursts. As for the exact reason I would leave this to someone...

I use an oldish D300s (and even more ancient D200!) and I do use the dynamic area AF - settings for the D300s are: AF-C priority: focus Dynamic AF: 9 points Tracking with lock on: long AF activation: AF-ON only (using back button to focus) With exposure compensation at 1/3 rather than 1/2 I usually ...

Some very nice captures. Particularly like your MH434 shots plus getting the F-15 and Spitfires in the same frame looking that big!!

Fabulous

Nice set, really like no.2, bags of atmosphere, great capture

Thanks all A few more - also correction on the number of Spitfires - the pics show 17 rather than 19 - I will have to have words with my 5 year old's teacher as he was doing the counting https://farm1.staticflickr.com/615/21374141568_5a138f7ab0_o.jpg Spitfire salute Duxford BofB Airshow by Andrew Cr...

Just an opener for now from a show that felt to me like it had a strange atmosphere... right up to the finale anyway which was amazing! Shooting from the M11 end felt nothing like it used to be (mainly due to post-Shoreham restrictions which were mentioned a few times during the show) - none of the ...

My poor little single ticket is still homeless

Will be turning the pc off at 10pm so please don't PM after that

I reserved 1 ticket for tomorrow's Goodwood BofB but last minute job means I can't make it. Happy to forward the confirmation email to the 1st person to PM me. It doesn't seem to say anything about having ID with you so wouldn't have thought it would be an issue (and the risk is yours to take!) Chee...

One of the best sets I've seen from any airshow for a while - fab

Definitely at least 2 Typhoons at Biggin as they just flew over on approach!

They've just flown over me in Sidcup almost certainly on approach to Biggin Hill, low and slow with gear going down as the trailing a/c passed...

Best I've seen of the F-18 so far

Magic ☺

I think simply one of the best airshows I have ever been to (that's since my first Great Warbirds Air Display in 1983 ) Great organisation, great displays, great static, great flying.... Dare I say XH558 stole the show... A few of my efforts... https://farm1.staticflickr.com/274/19631055308_94466dd0...

My jaw literally dropped, he pulled it off the ground like an F-16 then pretty much half rolled at the end of the display. Best I've ever seen.

Cheers for the info ☺
