When Skippy and I visited in May we were approached by a couple of members of RAFP - a lady and a bloke, really friendly, no problem with us being there, but they were uncomfortable with the ladders (which we duly laid down on the grass, where they remained for the rest of the day). They gave us the...

As DanO's alluded to, mine died at Benson on Thursday. "Err 99 Cannot shoot. Turn off and on or replace battery". Done that, taken the grip off, taken the lens off, tried a different lens, taken the small battery out, nothing improves the situation... Only thing is I suspect mine's probabl...

Good stuff Clive!

You didn't happen to get any shots of N444TM around 1115(ish) did you? Think we were the last morning flight for that aircraft as the wx closed in.

Sweet baby Jesus! Never seen vapour like that on the first Typhoon shot before!

Lovely conditions there, Nick. The head-on Lizzie and topside Sea Hurricane and glider are particularly pleasing.

Not bad, mate. Just a shame the flying was so distant, even with the extra 100mm I'd got a my disposal they were far from frame-fillers. Still, an enjoyable 'different' few hours, all the same.

Good to see you again, and doubtless our paths will cross on Sunday!

Some nice images there, Russ, particularly the climbing Typhoon.

Bloomin' brilliant, Jen!! Your stuff from Beachy Head's always different gear! Superb!

A very nice set indeed, Doug, in very nice conditions. Lovely.

What a good looking military the Greeks have got. Great looking aircraft, fanastic colour schemes and frequently set against very easy on the eye backdrops.

Very nicely shot too.

Ah, it just gets worse!

Stunning light on all of 'em, Pitters. The full disc shots are rather special, as is the last. Top work matey!

Interesting series there, Olli! Shot 3's got loads of impact though.

What a good looking aircraft the F1 is, Mr B, and the scenery and locations around Reims are rather lovely too. Must make the effort to get there sooner rather than later.

Sorry to hear of Alf's passing, Rich...

On the positive side of things, what a set of images!! The Lynx shots are rather lovely, let alone the Swedeforce Herc!

I'll see you on Thursday?!

Afternoon all, A bit later than everyone else, but the Global Aviation Resource review of the show has just gone live on our website.

Afternoon all, Last Wednesday Gareth Stringer and myself were invited down to RAF Benson to talk to various high-ranking staff on the Merlin Force, and the first part of the subsequent report has just gone live at Global Aviation Resource.

Really? I seem to recall that four of the ten Harriers present were twin-sticks! You'd have been in heaven!

Thanks very much everyone.

Well done Duane - comfortably the best set I've seen from you. Lovely colours particularly in the on the ground shots as well.

Good to see one of the Polish Hercs at last. Shame they're not in the Viper camo though!

The first and the night shots are particularly pleasing, Mr Dunn. Right place, right time for the Tweets too!

Shame the sun wasn't shining, Ben. You've got some nice angles there.

Yeah, you definitely got the right day, Glinneh! Lovely and sharp as always but the slow-shutter Typhoon's my fav.

Excellent prop and rotor blur, Chris, and the compositions on the museum shots are impressive too. Well done!

Really nice series, Doppo! Great conditions too. Hope it continues to play ball for you!

Morning all, I was fortunate enough to be invited up to Scotland to spend a couple of days at CQWI, in the vain hope that I might actually come away with some half-decent images this time! The forecast was horrific, but as it turned out our forays out to the runway and VASS nearly all coincided with...
