Drop dead gorgeous, all of them. Most envious of your technique and not being able to be there.

Re: Shuttleworth Vintage show - Mostly not the usual suspects
The sun in the early afternoon can be a problem at Old Warden.It is at its best in the evening shows in the 'golden hour' before sunset. As we were leaving my friend and I were saying that the show had finished too early

Shuttleworth Vintage show - Mostly not the usual suspects
Mostly the visiting a/c with Deperdussin & Wren at the end The weather was not too good for picture taking. Brilliant, rather harsh, sunlight and a background of thin high cloud giving many of the pictures a plain white background. On the other hand the wind was light and it was possible to fly ...

Soggy Friday at RIAT
I and two friends decided that as we had tickets we would risk a visit on the Friday and spent the day thinking that we were mad. However we did see some flying and being equipped with suitable protection managed to survive. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53055741500_55669c3f7f_b.jpg For me the...

Shuttleworth Special Operations Evening 20 May 2023
The weather was mostly bright and clear but a stiff NE wind meant that the Edwardians could not fly and the light aircraft suffered a bumpy ride which made formation flying somewhat tricky. At the close of the day all the clouds cleared and the last few pictures were taken in that lovely evening lgh...

Shuttleworth Race Day
Not much actual racing but a number of racers were amongst the visitors. The weather was somewhat variable from overcast, through broken cloud to brilliant sunshine just at the end for the Spitfire and Lysander Some pictures are not the best but included out of interest.

Shuttleworth Steam & Vintage Airshow Sept 4th
A dull day for photography but not for flying. Some types I had not seen before and some I had not seen for some time. The weather was not great being mainly overcast with a strong wind. However as the original forecast had been for thundery showers it could have been much worse. Blenheim https://cd...

RIAT 2022 from Totterdown
All these were taken off the airfield at Totterdown. The strong sunlight and its position, you are looking into the sun a lot of the time, plus a misbehaving camera made photography somewhat difficult. A lot of post-processing went on to lighten the parts in shadow. Italian Typhoon https://cdn01.hob...

Re: OW Season Premiere 2022 - we're back....
The show was well attended. The car parks were nearly full and people were still arriving close to the start time. No Covid restrictions were in force. Having bought tickets in advance and seen a grim weather forecast we were sorely tempted to cut our losses and not attend but I was glad that we did...

Re: OW Season Premiere 2022 - we're back....
'Challenging' is a polite way of putting it. Really good shots from a show that deserved better weather. Perhaps Shuttleworth could find a way to organise a 'Sky Replacement' feature... https://cdn01.hobbyphotohost.com/p?i=9544f8ca2e7c7dbed99a3032688ba4bb https://cdn01.hobbyphotohost.com/p?i=ed7f9ab...

Re: Headcorn Battle of Britain show - Saturday 26 September 2020
Your pictures show that it was merely dull, not how perishingly cold it was with a wind that cut through several layers of thermal covering. I left early before I lost the will to live as there seemed to be no prospect of any decent pictures. Well done on getting what you did and well done to the pi...

By 'mundane' I meant the quality of the pictures rather than the a/c.

Shuttleworth 3rd Drive-in Airshow Sept 6
There was a very interesting line-up with a few a/c I had not seen, or heard of, before. A variable day weatherwise. It started sunny then became overcast then cleared, a pattern that was repeated all afternoon. It ended up being sufficiently calm to fly 3 of the Edwardians, alas not the Deperdussin...
