Re-introducing myself

Hi Neil,

Cheers for posting – some great shots there. I love the monochrome Vulcan and the nighttime DC3. I always enjoy seeing other people’s photos, there’s always something to learn.

You’re right about the Canon 1D iv – my father has one and it’s superb. Sadly I have to make do with an EOS 600D but it’s an impressive enough bit of kit too, I think – with one of his L-series prime lenses on it the 600 can take a very reasonable photo…

I also like the HDR Harrier – not overdone but plenty of detail.

Please keep posting…

I’m cheating on this one, because its a half scale model:diablo:

That RC Tiger Moth was incredible! Was that taken at Rougham by any chance as I was there taking pics as well! That Lightning was exceptional!

Hi All,

A few more to bring us almost up to date. We’re now up to the Canon 1D iv era – love this camera.

TTFN,
Neil

Hi All,

A few more pics from the past!

Last ever Harrier flights!:mad:





Thought I’d add this 262 shot – it is a model, but a bloomin’ big one!:)

Hi All,

Some more pictures from a night time photoshoot at Bagington Airport.

Neil

And the next batch…………….

The next 4 pictures are interesting in their own way. the Tonka had been worked on all morning before taking off in the early afternoon with a full payload. It came back nearly an hour later with an undercarriage problem.

A Typhoon was scrambled to go and have a look and see if there was a visible problem.

Everything seemed alright – The Tonka then dumped fuel – all over Lincolnshire:diablo:

Pilot made a perfect landing with no problem.

Neil

WOW! Beautiful shots Neil, thanks for sharing. Beautiful colours with the red on blue sky. Really miss the Harrier, retired too soon.

Still with Harriers a few more – Including the final photoshoot – a very sad day.

A little bit of simple Photoshoppery on this one

Also the end of another great aeroplane

And as Scampton is now the closest RAF station to Yours Truly – some Red Arrow pics to finish off with!

TTFN,
Neil

Hi All,

Harriers! I love aircraft that have lumps and bumps on their airframe (with the exception of the Mosquito – best looking aeroplane ever, in my book!) – the Harrier fits the bill perfectly. Cottesmore is only 25 minutes down the road, so I have plenty of Harrier pics. We’re now up to the Canon 7D days.

Happy New Year to all,
Neil

Hi WP,

Apologies for a slow reply – been away at the outlaws for Christmas. The Lightning is hanging vertically in the Cosford Cold War Museum. It’s got good company with a Hunter and a Sabre.

Hope everyone has had a good Christmas (hangovers all gone:diablo: ) – hope you all have a Happy New Year,
Neil

Whereabouts is the Lightning in post 1?

Hi Crop Sprayer,

Sorry mate, I don’t – I have this Tiggie picture which I like

And this one is not quite a crop spray, but it’s smokin’

I’m cheating on this one, because its a half scale model:diablo:

Thanks guys for the comments – always appreciated.

I have a lot of catching up to do, so I thought I’d post some pictures from a few years ago up to the present day. The quality of the older pictures isn’t that good as my camera kit then wasn’t a good as it is now.

Really dark conditions – a bit to much for the old Canon 50D to handle well – but it was an awesome afternoon. One which I’ll never forget – an F-15 going past and less than 50ft away – exhilerating is a word that comes to mind!


Burners lit – don’t know how many car and house alarms they set off – quite a few!!!


Best Hurricane display I’ve ever seen – Victory Show 2009.

One of these days I might re-visit some of these old pictures and see if I can do a better job now, with CS6. If you guys get bored with these old pictures please let me know.

I hope everyone has a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.

TTFN,
Neil
