I wasn’t going to post these as not the quality of the more usual postings, but just a few of the participants yesterday, a couple of which may not be too familiar outwith Scottish skies. It was a two-day event, yesterday’s weather was perfect, unlike today, which may have marred Sunday’s attendance. There’s Scottish Wx for you! :rolleyes:

My youngest works in Jessops and has played with the Sony Alpha word from him is that it’s a tasty bit of kit.

I agree..nothing wrong with those shots

Yeah, I like those little Twisters – very nice!
The SE5a replica turned up at East Fortune a few years back, I’m sure, being flown by Neil. And I’m POSITIVE I saw it the day I went for my first ever flight, too! It was sitting in a hangar near the plane I went up in (Cessna 182, I think).

Thanks for that Mike, Daz. The camera (and perhaps I ) have limitations (It’s a Fuji S5100) and when wedged between a couple of blokes with equipment like howitzers one tends to feel a little inferior! (We’ve all felt like that on occasions though, haven’t we lads! (Cough!)
I’m hoping to upgrade soon, possibly the Sony Alpha range which can use my Minolta lenses : too good to lie idle, too good to part with at giveaway prices)
That was Neil in the replica SE5, Daz. It’s a great little performer and was much admired.
I think the Spitfire 26 was at a local Seafront Spectacular a year or a couple of years back, but wasn’t in evidence yesterday. What we did see (and the photos show the camera limitations) were the Spitfire-like Silence 180’s G-TWST and G-RIOT and they were much envied yesterday giving spirited displays.:)

Same sentiments as Mike – can’t see owt wrong with them myself.
Nice to see the SE5a replica again (is it owned by Neil Geddes, or am I thinking of something else) – I was only thinking about that yesterday after seeing the Red Baron programme on Friday!
There is/was a Spitfire Mk26 replica based up there, too.

Nice. I don’t think there is a lot wrong with those mate. Glad to see the weather was kind to you.

Heart of Scotland Airshow Scone (Perth) 5 June 2010
…and a few more : from 189 photos, probably only a small percentage worth viewing, and I know the Hurricane is a lot longer, but it was the start of take-off run and he was faster than my lens response ! But it was a fun day, first outing for years, and now looking for a trip south soon, after this little taster 🙂
