Dunsfold Wings and Wheels 2007

Evening All, No this isn’t the first time the Reds have landed at Dunsfold. We have some pics at work of them on the ground there in 2005, somewhere around June or July if I remember correctly. We’d rented part of the airfield for some ground work and they came in over the top before landing. We have a picture of the reds lined up with one of our vehicles at the end of the line! Wicked pic for us but would be nothing to anyone else!
Flapjack, my missus absolutely loves your aircrafts paint job! We have a couple of weeks leave coming up. As we might be in that part of the world for a couple of days is it possible to visit your beast at Exeter to see the paint scheme up close?
Regards
John

Thanks James.

All ten of the Red Arrows landed. Displayed later then back in to land then all departed approx mid way through the show.

The Spitfire Vb is operated by the Historic Aircraft Collection at Duxford.

Hi,

I liked your pictures of the Dunsfold Airshow, way better than mine. What camera/lens do you use? I currently borrow a Canon 350d and a Sigma 18-200mm lens which I find a little soft sometimes. I am looking to get my own camera (Canon 40d and a 100-400 IS lens probably) though any suggestions are most welcome.

I was wondering if you (or anyone else) had any of the plane I landed in, a PA28 G-JJAN ? (Landed at 10:28 and departed 6:25 pm)

Thanks,

Ashley

I agree withn Jen. The 30D and 100-400IS lens is a very god combination. That is what I use.

Please note in my Beachy Head thread the solo Spits and Hurri pics are cropped anywhere between 40 to 50 per cent. The Jumbo you would have got full frame at 100mm when in front of you.

The 40D is suppose to be better with more responsive, better locking outo focus and improved image quality. However, new cameras have a habit of coming with electronic bug so I would wait six months before purchasing one.

Sorry, I did not get a pic of G-JJAN. Well done Jen:)

Hi Ashley,

I use Canon 30D with a Canon 100-400m IS USM, it seems to do the job nicely 🙂 I have got a photo of you departing, it’s not brilliant but I can e-mail it to you, if you PM me 🙂

Thanks

Jen

Thanks Jen and thank you Septic.

I took my last photo at the airfield at 7.31pm of a an airliner passing by. I left about 10 to 15 minutes after that.

Very nice Martin,
