I wonder why they call them "Sunset" displays

Yep and replied 2252 last night.

I can’t find out who flew the Anson I’m afraid.

I absolutely love these pics Moggy, the ones of the Lizzie and the Spit in particular 🙂

Steve, just wanted to check, have you received my email?

PM or e-mail me

Question for either Vintage ATCO or Tcatco; purely out of interest, which pilots fly the Anson?
Dodge Bailey flew it on Saturday, and I know that Tony Haig-Thomas and George Ellis have taken the controls, but does anyone else fly it? Andy Sephton surely? Thanks in advance.

Excellent mixture of pics Moggy. I see that it hasn’t taken you too long to get to grips with your Camera? Your becoming Damien’s competition! 😀

Cheers for posting mate. 🙂

Moggy,

Very nice pics:)

I’m not an aircraft photographer. In fact I’ve been in discussion right here on a number of occasions for stating that the problem with airshow photography is that you miss the airshow and view it all through a little window. That very much is my feeling after Saturday, I missed so much.

But this time it was worth it since there were so few people there to watch a great show, that if I’ve brought it home to anyone that it’s worth risking 12 quid in the hope that you will see some flying, and if not considering it a donation to a good cause, then ‘great’, I’ve done some good for Shuttleworth.

Kit?

Nothing really fancy. One of the more expensive amateur digicams (Nikon 5700) straight out of the box. No accessories, I don’t even have a case for it.

I’m not in Damien’s league. You haven’t seen the 124 awful pictures!

But thanks for the kind words.

Moggy

Beautiful shots Moggie!Looks like Damien has some stiff opposition at last…;)

Amazing shots. A big thanks to Vintage ATCO for pointing me in the direction of this board over from PPruNe.

The picture of the Spit must have been taken when I was sitting in the car park of Biggleswade Sainsburys. Doh!

Whilst I appreciate Moggie C posting the pics I can’t help but think with the outstanding quality of these shots he/she should be embedding watermarks across the pics so that he can sell the unadulterated images on at a vastly inflated price!

The Lysander with it’s lights blazing buzzed me twice as I drove slowly along the road alongside Shuttleworth.

Top effort.

That shot of the Spitfire is fantastic. It reminds me of the footage of the HAC Spitfire V flying against a simillar backdrop at Music in the Air on the British Airshows 2001 video.

Thanks Kev,

I may well print it out and frame it. I go weak at the knees just thinking about what it must be like to sit in a Spitfire cockpit looking out at a sky like that (with somebody else paying for the fuel)

🙂 🙂 🙂

Moggy.

That Spitfire image is superb!

“Henri! Get ze sootcase ready. ‘Ere comes ze Lysander”

er…..

:confused:

No Photoshop trickery here. This was the colour of the sky. The rainbow can just be made out off the a/c’s port wing.

What I wouldn’t give….

‘Fraid not 😉

I wonder if anyone got a shot of the Spitfire flying through the rainbow or the Lysander with all lights blazing (including it’s new wing-tip nav. lights)?

We thought, at one stage, Trevor Roche was going to stay up forever – he was clearly enjoying himself in the Spit and put on a tremendous display.

Wow!

Moggy, some great shots there, but the sky in that first shot is just magnificent. 🙂
