Another First Abingdon - Heavy
Another First Abingdon - Heavy
As a 15 year old and not minding the rain, this was a great season opener! I loved it. I am a bit rusty from last year but gave it my best shot. My editing skills seem to have gone down hill but I am not sure whether it was just shooting in hard conditions. Here's my effort from my first ever Abingdon. The best part of the day for me was the departures, mainly because the Merlin and 3 Gazelles taxied right in front of me! Lauren's small display on departure was very good! A huge congrats to the organisers for keeping the displays going and the crowd happy! A massive shame about the cancellations but safety first!
I will start with my favourites from the day.

Re: Another First Abingdon - Heavy
Lovely set mate, hard to pick a favourite but I think the first Gazelle is the best!

Very nice set. Worth getting wet for then.
Re: Another First Abingdon - Heavy
Thank you! It was very worth getting wet just for the sunny departures!

Re: Another First Abingdon - Heavy
Great effort considering your age, the white Gazelle particularly stands out.

Re: Another First Abingdon - Heavy
As we know from other posters conditions were pretty grim, a good set under any conditions, if that's the standard for 15 year olds, keep them coming, good stuff.
Re: Another First Abingdon - Heavy
I thought all the RAF Merlins had transfered to the Royal Navy ?or is that by a later date ?Good photos for your age taken in challenging conditions.
Re: Another First Abingdon - Heavy
Thank you very much for all of your kind comments!
I think they all go by July this year, correct me if I'm wrong anyone!

Re: Another First Abingdon - Heavy
Fantastic set, can't fault any of these and incredibly impressive considering you are only 15 year's old (wish mine were that good)
