That first picture of the York is absolutely stunning, such a beautiful aircraft. Such a abject shame space couldn't be found for it in a Cold War exhibit.
Agreed, a cracking shot πŸ‘

Re: Getting into photography as a beginner

My advice would be that there is no need to buy new. There are several well regarded UK retailers for used camera gear that will offer 12 month warranties. What is your budget?

Incredible shot, no idea how you photograph those things, they're hard enough just to see let alone get a camera focused on one.
Pre-focus, an awful lot of patience and Pro Capture would be my guess.

To add my 2 pence worth, if it ain't broke...
The Reds have been broke since eh.... 25 years minimum. That is not about the colourscheme, but about the flying.
I'll disagree with the 25 years

Enclosure tickets probably not on sale yet. I see no reason why the VV wouldn't have a grandstand again, in fact I'm pretty sure the FRIAT 25 thread has a map that shows there will be one. Nee paniko!

Re: Sywell Airshow 2024

Another cracking day. Thought the Bearcat display was wonderful, what a beast. The P47 last pass was a bit special, it got a round of applause from spotters corner. Red Bull team are so polished (sorry), wingwalker grabbed everyone's attention, 9 x Spits were superb. Reds got the best of the blue sk...

Several people say how impressive the wingwalker was... Assume it was Danielle Hughes, ex Aerosuperbatics? Think she moved to Switzerland and married a Swiss display pilot. What made the show so good, did she move around on the wing unlike Aerosuperbatics? Believe it was Danielle with her husband a...

Just bumping this talk as it's this Monday 11th March.
Should be fascinating and hopefully raise a few quid for a worthy cause.

Re: Radom Air Show 2023 (26-27 August)

What kind of flares were these that the SU-22 dropped, they were new ones on me ? They are illumination flares for night photography developed for the KKR recon pod. Basically, the camera in the pod takes photos in sync with the flashes that illuminate the target. Thank you, every day's a school day.
