I'm sorry, but most of these shots look to be out of focus, don't really know what to suggest with that, maybe just look over your gear and settings again? The Spitfire and Tucano shots are also suffering from motion blur, I assume you were using a slow shutter speed and weren't able to pan smoothly enough with the subject, maybe set the speed higher next time to give yourself a better chance?

Sorry to be negative, no offence intended, just trying be constructive. To be fair, the P40 shot looks fine, and is a very nice capture. :smile: The final Red Arrows shot and Wingwalkers shots also look decent too.

Without accessing the EXIF data, but purely on the 'blade motion' test, I would expect your shutter speed to be in excess of 1/500th to 'stop' a Tucano on display power! Could it be that your shots have been massively over-cropped? From past experience here, nothing displays that close to the shore. It could also be worth reviewing your ISO settings before Sunday, especially if sunlight should grace the event. The evident noise is apparent in most images but on the penultimate 'Reds' shot, the 'noise' is akin to an illegal rave!! I applaud your efforts & hope the above suggestions will reward you with more favourable results.
