Biggest problem with solo Heli displays is that they often spend the majority of the display at crowd centre, which at bigger shows means only a small proportion of the crowd can actually see them.

Easily some of the best shots of Blackjack that I've seen, well done.

Some absolutely stonking pictures there, well done.

Wow, just wow, jealous doesn't even begin to describe it. Top notch photography too.

Superb shots and lovely light on them too

Duxford Sunday 3rd February:

A few more pics from today:

Loving the look of this (although I'm sure it's a bit marmite to some)

Eastbourne used to use Biggin, any idea why that stopped?

I don't get the obsession with that Kempsford one

Never stayed myself but surely the big attraction is you are almost on site so even on days you don't have an entrance ticket you've got nearly as good a view as those inside. Plus on days you do go inside it's a 30 second stroll to the gate.

Wow, just wow, amazes me how much patience you bird photographers have

I think there is a strong argument, that charging for hold luggage, pushed people into taking carry on instead, those people then realised how much easier it is to carry on, so, even if was free they'd still carry on. As the passengers ability to follow a simple instruction proved -i.e. Don't stop ...

Duxford have their own major airshow that weekend.

Major

Wow, that's really something

The first Spitfire shot is simply sublime

Interesting that they're waiting for their third show of the season for this appearance - do Duxford get "first dibs" on its first show appearance (I can only assume that it will have appeared at one of the two Duxford events before this show at Shuttleworth)? Have Duxford confirmed it wi...

Perfect shots in perfect conditions

Imagine someone expressing artistic flair via the art medium of photography...

Personally I really enjoyed them, after all, there's only so many historic record shots that one can find interesting.

I disagree with you on the merits of an annual show on participation but it does not matter...

Go on then, explain how moving to biannual will improve participation?

As posted by skylinerworld in aviation waffle..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar6f4Pw3UHs Would love to see an Eagle demo again, suppose the only viable options would be the above or the Saudi demo. Haven't seen one since probably 2006/2007 at Riat. Whenever that last demo was from the USAF +1...

Great set, these are all super sharp
