Re: Disappearing Props.

Seafire and Comet props definitely look unnatural to me - my initial thought would be the rolling shutter (though I don't use a mirrorless setup myself) - perhaps worth double checking all your settings again with the manual.

Re: Shuttleworth 2022 dates announced

PDA from the Dak carries over to the Lanc AFAIK.

I have no doubts the Lancaster will be ready by May as it spent most of 2021 on the ground so hopefully it won’t take much to have it ready for the 2022 season.

Re: Flying Legends 2022

Probably reading too much into it, but the tour website has some event timings which look like they’re from the planned show at Sywell last year i.e. the Blades evening display and evening entertainment until the site closes at 10pm.

Jakub’s 2021 (Warbird Heavy!)

Sorry I’m a bit late to the party! I haven’t posted on here for a while but here we are, a chance to look back at 2021 which luckily gave us a pretty full calendar of events. After 2020, I wanted to make the most of the 2021 airshow season so I decided to opt into IWM membership and it turned out to...

But important to note there’s no ‘full’ airshow in May and it’s a Flying Day instead so free for members

Re: Shuttlewworth 2021 dates announced

Now allowing pedestrians for the drive-in shows. However, there is a new pricing structure which is essentially another increase if you’re coming by car with more than 1 person. It’s now £10 for a 5x5m space and each person must have an airshow ticket - £26 (£34 after discounted price ends in Februa...

Lanc had a hydraulics issue recently I believe. No idea if it’s been fixed, but it’s appearance at Guersney airshow was cancelled and it was just the pair of fighters displaying.

Re: Battle of Britain Airshow 2020 - Cancelled

Interesting news today that Aero Legends are going ahead with their airshow at Headcorn. Part of me feels that if Duxford really wanted to host this show, they could’ve used the showcase days as trial runs, set up cones, paint lines for social distancing etc but from what I read, there was nothing.

Re: September 27 Airshow: Drive-In-Airshow (de Havilland)

NYK and Rapide MM? Am I missing something, what are they, and the NYK must be so interesting it's listed twice?

On the whole a little bit underwhelming if that's the final list, but still potentially worth the trip for the DH84 which I've yet to see.

Re: Battle of Britain Airshow 2020 - 18th-20th September.

I've enjoyed a few Duxford shows from the M11 end ever since the tank bank was closed but I assume the display line will have to be pushed further out now. Unless they can get away with it? Doesn't the tank bank remain open during practice displays etc before airshow days?

Re: Aero Legends 80th Anniversary Battle of Britain Airshow

I've been meaning to attend this show for a couple of years now but it's always clashed with something else. Looking forward to attending this year all being well. Hopefully the BBMF fighters operate from Headcorn like in the past.

Re: Flying Legends to cease at Duxford

If it is all down to money, then I assume Duxford will simply see this as an opportunity to take over that Legends weekend in July and organise another generic show with some Spitfires, Red Arrows and Typhoon and keep 100% of the profits. Good luck to TFC and hopefully they'll be able to find a suit...

With the public Grandstand gone from this years show, where would be the best place to go on the airfield? I've heard a few say down towards the tank hangar at the bottom of the airfield in the past but was thinking about somewhere close to the American hangar. Either far end of the airfield will b...

Considering their previous photo days with Darren Harbar were around the £150 mark for one aircraft and one reenactor, this looks like pretty good value for money :rofl: Honestly, the aircraft line-up is pretty exciting as it's not often you get a chance to see a Blenheim/Lysander/Fiat CR42 after da...
