Three visitors on Sunday August 31st, passing Horspath in Oxfordshire. I was taking photos of a cricket match, and just happened to have a 400mm lens on a DX body – so plenty of length in hand, matron.
Something tells me this one might not have been heading to/from an airshow…

Last, but not least, I nearly widdled myself when this one emerged from behind the trees and banked across me. Hand held, big lens, no stabilisation bar a shoulder stock, manual focus… I’m pretty impressed with the sharpness attainable! At full scale, I can see the pilot and read the serial without any trouble at all.

Lucky man. Cricket and aviation, lovely combination.

You have to do something while you are waiting to bat!

There’s a lesson there, don’t waste time watching cricket!
