Was nice to see the aircraft on the flight line walk facing the other way which made for some different angles than the usual head-on shots. A couple of first’s seeing the Snipe and MiG-15 displaying, and well impressed with the wizz, flash, bangs for the Great War Display Team. As for the Spitfire tail chase, probably the best I’ve seen yet with three formations all over the place and ended up just watching it with my Mk.1 eyeball rather than trying to photograph it. Due to a bit of a sore arm, old age probably, there was no way I was going to swing a Tamron 150-600mm lens about so I downsized to a Sony 70-300mm Full Frame lens attached to my Sony a6300 crop sensor camera. I knew shots would be limited to take offs/landings and any traffic that passed close enough but some display’s like the Chipmunks, Buchon’s and Norwegian jets were a bit to far away for 300mm.

Great stuff!
Looking at that shot of the BE.2, it gives you a good idea of how fragile some of these earlier types are (and yes, even though it’s a replica, it still looks very delicate!)

Sounds like you need a kuli to lug your gear around now!
The Great War Display Team aerial battle was an interesting change and at least the wet Saturday meant they had double the pyrotechnics to let off on Sunday!! Result 🙂
The Spitfire/Seafire tail chase was pretty good – defo a Mk I eyeball moment…
