Maybe those damned flying monkeys stole your cheque book as well as your icon.

Magnifique comme toujours, Phil.

Hi Rich
I didn't know you were into dogging. Seriously, a great set under adverse conditions.
Cheers
Dave

I like the prop blur in no. 2. As you're a Honder rider, can I assume these were taken without a ladder? I'm hoping to make my first visit to Warton next week.

Cheers
Dave

Great set, Rich. I guess in the wonderful world of Tesco no.6 would be known as "bogof." Okay, not very funny but every little helps.
Cheers
Dave

An excellent set as always, Rich. Glad you're feeling better.

Dave

Another fine set, Rich.

I've been put off DD by the A303 roadworks and diversions. Any problems?

Cheers
Dave

G-EZFT departs from Bristol International en route to Filton already bearing the name "Sir George White" for the official naming ceremony celebrating the 100th anniversary of aircraft building in the city. http://davidholman.smugmug.com/photos/791878026_TzpNK-XL.jpg http://davidholman.smug...

Encouraged by MerlinJon's post of yesterday, I paid my first visit of 2010 and arrived just in time for a grab shot of the Harrier pair disappearing into the wide grey yonder. http://davidholman.smugmug.com/photos/774874538_3tSPN-XL.jpg But the light seemed to be improving, so I moved around to the ...

Rich, I'm sorry to say I dipped out with the Cotty Gate Guard. Either through camera shake or faulty focus, it just goes to show the importance of taking a back up shot when possible.
Dave

Steve,
Not only wonderful conditions, but I really admire your use of a slow shutter speed.
Cheers

My first outing this year also happened to be my first visit to Coningsby, and I was lucky to be in the company of the experienced and knowledgeable Mr Pittman. As Rich says, nothing happened during the morning but in the afternoon there was plenty of Typhoon activity at the 25 end. http://davidholm...

Great work, Rich, particularly the sunset shots.

Thanks for the driving and company.
Dave

You free on the 4th then, Rich?

Hi Rik
Love Nos. 1 & 2 of the second edition, but I'm wondering about the three pink discs below the Herc.
Dave

On Thursday I made my first visit to Corris Corner, hoping for a last flurry of activity before Christmas closures. At 0908 there were a couple of passes from this Hawk. As can be seen from the canopy reflection, the sun had yet to clear the horizon so I was forced to use iso1600, and never having s...

Hi Rich

Superb image. Good luck with your sortie today.

Cheers
Dave

On what turned out to be a relatively quiet day at Yeovilton today, I did manage to get three airborne machines in the same frame . . . http://davidholman.smugmug.com/photos/738216457_ZWPYQ-XL.jpg and caught a visitor departing to Valley. http://davidholman.smugmug.com/photos/738216505_9Q7gd-XL.jpg ...

Very tasty, Rick. No wonder you smiled!

Thanks, EMarsh. Now the hard part, for me, will be to refrain from opening until the 25th.

Ordered mine yesterday while still unaware of the release date. Anyone know when I can expect it?

And here they are way above Yeovilton at 1209.



Cheers

Unusually, the duty runway this morning was changed to 22. http://davidholman.smugmug.com/photos/723697867_EGqQm-XL.jpg http://davidholman.smugmug.com/photos/723697878_TWLJH-XL.jpg Three minutes later the next visitor, from less further afield, arrived to perform a couple of circuits. http://davidho...

Of course it is, TJ. And thanks for a correction without "stinging" sarcasm.

I say slow because, being lured out by a fine day at last, I decided to try use a shutter speed of 1/125th where possible to increase prop and blade blur. First up, a couple of the regulars. http://davidholman.smugmug.com/photos/717260826_TqVnh-XL.jpg http://davidholman.smugmug.com/photos/717260848_...
