That's a nice set, Ian and I truly admire your slow shutter speed panning skills. Thanks Alpha I share your misgivings about the event. It always struck me as an event for giving the pilots a good time but with little regard to the photographic opportunities. Do they not notice all those all along ...

Hi All, I decided to do just one day at Legends based upon the line up this year. I think enough has been said about the show this year, re. Mustangs leaving before the show, line up etc, so I wont add too much. I only really attended in order to see the DH.9, but alas she went tech on Saturday, so ...

Hi all, Once again I visited Shuttleworth for my favourite show of the year, the Military Pageant. Despite the weather forecast the day ended on a high as far as the weather was concerned (best I have had at an airshow this year). As for the flying, it was simply fantastic, 7 Hurricanes flying past ...

Thanks for all the comments everyone, glad you are all enjoying them. Here are a few photos from the cold and wet Tuesday. Asides the weather there was some great flying on display which wasn't seen on the Wednesday, amongst other things this included a 3 ship display of invasion striped Dakotas, as...

Thanks guys, glad you like them. Lovely set, thanks for sharing. I watched a 3 part documentary (History channel) last night about "That's All Brother". I never knew its significance prior to that :-S Absolutely fascinating. What was that called? I'd be interested in watching it, having be...

Love the first shot! Wish I could have seen a sample of that on the Tuesday at Duxford. Looks like your trip to France was worth it.

Once again, an excellent bunch of images. How I wish that I was over there at the moment...I particularly like the unusual angles of some of the static shots. Nice work, Ian. Thanks George, glad you liked them. I find statics rather hard to make look a little more than just profile shots if I'm hon...

Hi All, I decided to do both days at Duxford for the 'Daks over Duxford' event. The Tuesday was a little disappointing due to the weather, and its stopping the para drop, however it was still great to witness the Daks. In contrast, Wednesday was a much better day, despite the delays with the departu...

Hi All, I paid another visit to the Shuttleworth collection for their new 'flying festival' airshow. With the late addition of the promised 9 Daks (which became 7), this turned out o be a great show, and a day I won't forget. Seeing 7 Daks streaming out of the grass strip at OW really was a great si...

Yes I was told that one will be open, as will the North side and museum car park.

Cheers

Does anyone know how they are doing parking tomorrow, is it normal airshow routine, and we can enter by the gate down the LWH end?

This does sound like it could be a great event, really looking forward to seeing the DH.9. Hope the weather holds out and we get some lovely golden light for photos.

Does anyone know if you are only allowed on site at 6.30 for the event, or allowed on for the day and then stay for the evening show?

Where are they now parking those who arrive early, if not between LWH and AAM?

Hi All, Despite the weather Shuttleworth's first evening show of the year turned out to be brilliant, just by the shear quality of the line up and flying on display. Highlights were the debut display of ARCo's Lysander (flying with the home example), the four ship of sea hurricane and 3 spitfires, N...

Hi all, I started this year's season back where the last ended, at Old Warden. Unfortunately the weather wasn't as generous as last year's, and ARCo's Lysander wasn't able to make it, but a good host of visitors and the strength of the Shuttleworth's own collection still made for a great show. Thoug...

Thanks jalfrezi. I agree with the type of flying on offer on race day, I think thats why more of my photos are take off/landing shots. Still, as you say, it was a good show. Now just to sit and wait till May next year.

Hi all, Finally got my photos finished from Shuttleworth's race day, whilst not normally my favourite show of their year, I still think the collection make it a great event and I thoroughly enjoyed by day there. Some great flying, and a wonderful way to end the airshow season, who cant enjoy ending ...

Liking the panning on these, great photos!

I've always hoped they would put on a Hawker themed show. They have the 2 Cygnets based there, the Demon, Tomtitt, 2 Hurricanes (plus invited others), there are 2 Sea Furies and the Fury II, Fury I, 2 Hawker Nimrods, if a Hunter could be attracted that would be brilliant. In addition the collections...

Thanks for the comments guys, glad you all like them. I feel your pain, I completely forgot to take my waterproof camera cover, so risked a carrier bag! I don't even have a waterproof cover! Normally if its raining I just don't bother, but didn't want to come away from a whole day with no photos. Ho...

Hi all, Spent a rather wet day at Duxford on Saturday for the battle of Britain airshow, it was a shame about the weather, but what was on offer was still a great line up. I decided to leave before the reds and skip the spitfire flypast (A mistake?) in order to try and avoid been stuck in long queue...

Thanks for the comments guys, glad you like them. The two PR Spits look fab and your panning technique for the landing images is excellent. Methinks that a visit to OW is in order when I revisit England. I look forward to the next installment. Thanks George. You cant go wrong with a visit to the col...

Very nice gutted i missed this show would loved to caught Peter's last display at OW Thanks Timuss! Sorry you missed the show, I'm not sure why he has pulled out of Race day though. I was hoping to get both Peter's spit and mustang before he hangs up his gloves, not sure what will happen to them af...

Great panning on the first set!! Lovely pics of an enjoyable day.

Hi all, As ever I paid a visit to the Shuttleworth collection on the first Sunday of September, this time for the Heritage day airshow. As they have all year, the collection were lucky with the weather, with wall to wall sunshine and blue skies, which provided a great backdrop for the highlight of t...
