My first time viewing from the M11 end at Duxford. Rather enjoyed it, it must be said. Here is a selection of photos I managed.
Gives a bit of an idea of the conditions that enveloped the airfield towards the end!

Lovely set. I was in the IWM Members enclosure opposite the American Air Museum and wondered what the Czech display would have been like from the M11 end because they seemed to keep to the westerly end. You've proved that good shots were definitely possible from the easterly end!
The landing shot of MH415 is beautifully sharp considering the slow shutter speed.
I loved the mixed "1938" and "Mercury" formations.

Yes, I'm very happy with that one. The last handful of landings I dropped the shutter right down (1/100) to see what I could get.Alpha Delta 210 wrote: ↑Thu 15 Sep 2022, 5:23 pm

I would have guessed an even slower shutter speed bearing in mind that the Spitfire's throttle must have been close to idle.
