Sunday at Duxford

Sorry for the very belated post, my graphics card decided to overheat.

After seeing all the cracking Old Warden photos, I feel I made the wrong choice in going to Duxford on Sunday, but there is still time to catch the last flying evening.

I have it on good authority that it was a certain Mr Schofield in the Bearcat on Saturday.

Apologies if this has been convered before, but who are the Grumman Cats?
I imagine Pete Kynsey is in the Tigercat?

Superb, love the Tigercat shots. Good to see Grumpy, I thought she was leaving these shores ?

I did hear that the owner Paul Allen may keep some of his aircraft in Europe, lets hope Grumpy is one of them. The crew certainly seem to be having a lot of fun with it at the moment.

Perhaps when ‘the season’ has drawn to a close, we could have a little competition on the forum, and the resident photgraphic ‘Top Guns’ (you know who you are!) post what they feel are their five best images of 2004.

Votes could be counted, and the winner presented with…, well, the glory if nothing else. Plus five rolls of 35mm film which I will donate, as I do not seem very motivated to use it these days. Could be fun ?

Thanks Propstrike, Motf, Mark 12.

I just wish all the aerial subjects I photograph were as cooperative as the ‘Cat Duo’.

As I scan through the various monthly aviation mags, I think we are now seeing on this forum a standard of photography more striking, certainly more contemporary, than on the printed page. Formidable pictures, Septic. You saved the best until last!

May I please second that. 🙂

Thanks propstrike.

The trouble with most of the aircraft magazines, is that they try to squeeze airshow reports into a couple of pages, hence the postage stamp size photos, which makes a mockery out of all the high res images that they recieve after each display.

Thanks guys, I’m glad you liked them.

Just for Merlin 70, one last shot of the awesome Tigercat/Bearcat duo.
