Could it be a strobe that only flashes every few seconds, hence you have only caught it once within your exposure. It may also be bright enough to momentarily light up part of an airframe, ie a bright white anti collision strobe on top of a tail say ?

Duxford Monday 28th September: With no corporate events coming up, the Airspace Conservation area is proving a very welcome parking area for 'resting' warbirds: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50395175137_8fc660427d_b.jpg Loving that line up photo, imagine that as a mixed formation flypast.

Personally I think there are 3 levels, photos, enhanced / edited photos and digital art. Boosting contrast saturation etc, lifting shadows or the like, to me is editing where by changing a sky is digital art. I dont mind the latter as long as people say that is what they have done, hate all these ca...

Really like those Andy, something different.

Thanks. no flash the light wasn't brilliant as it was cloudy but the start of the emerging was taken at ƒ/5.6 105.0 mm 1/400 1250iso the end was ƒ/8.0 105.0 mm 1/640 900iso

Ian, thank you for taking the time to respond, the images are superb.

Wow, those emerging shots are incredible. I've been dabbling with an old macro during shut down, nothing special but can I ask a couple of questions, are you using flash, are you using high iso as you seem to have quite reasonable depth of field for macro photos. Thanks for posting them, they are st...

With the announcement by the Government that they are bringing forward the date for stopping sales of Diesel / Petrol vehicles, could the Electric Vehicle revolution spell the end for airshows and other events at remote sites. Permanent venues will given time cater for mass EVs, but take the likes o...

Three separate occasions but similar in nature, seeing the Argosy, Neptune (I seem to remember another reasonable size twin with it) and Britannia all flying overhead or in the general area on delivery to the Museum at Cosford. The Britannia was the closest, almost directly overhead, whilst the othe...

Don't remember the reason but remember the aircraft, went up the bank behind the rugby club to photograph them.

Seem to think there may have been more than a pair over time ?

Looks like it was an ordinary survey but having to be carried out, 'out of hours' due to Gatwick proximity,

Loving the shot of the departing Spitfire, nice different angle.

Great pics, and a good sense of scale including the wider view.

Like the 'biz jet' freighter I've just seen in the Willow Run thread great to see something quite different. Loving the variety on those tails, great set of photos, thanks for posting.

Blimey, well that's something you don't see every day, a 40+ year old Falcon 'biz jet' freighter. Looking at the size of that cargo door looks like a useful bit of kit for adhoc freight, great catch and nice to see something out of the ordinary.

Very interesting, loving those fuselages 'racked up' for storage.

With the weather forecast it should be all six days of landings from the East.

West is a mixed bag for departures, a lot of stuff is too high (underside shots), some aircraft seem to go vertical at the midpoint, and some helis turn north or south before they reach you. However for the odd fighter or heavy that keeps it low, its a chance to capture a static exhibit in the air w...

If the wind direction allows generally runway 27, aircraft arriving from the East tends to be favourite. If they are landing 27 then apart from the odd helicopter you will pretty much see everything from the eastern end. Western end generally is good for taxying shots but beware you wont see everyth...

Just posted the same thing on another thread. There are some fantastic photos throughout this forum generally, but its the posts like this with the rarely seen / reported or less common types that I love. Thanks for posting.

Just catching up on a few older posts that I've missed. There are some fantastic photos throughout this forum generally, but its the posts like this with the rarely seen / reported or less common types that I love. Thanks for posting.

Love the cloudscape in the Orion picture.

Think the temporary restricted airspace was only in place until 1700z 1800l so probably diff8cult to have a validation after this time.

Surprised Apache and Chinook are down for this one and not the July show.

I saw this at the DMS (Defence Medical School) at Whittington Barracks Lichfield, not sure if its fact but believe they acquired the stretcher doors off the Belgiums so that the airframe could take a stretcher fit for training at DMS.

This may help with road closures Thanks for that ... it really does help i think as i was planning on coming up from the A454 towards Albrighton along Burnhill Green Road ... so looks like i will need to turn right at the end (A464) and then use Cross Road and Station Road to get to the A41 and int...
