RIAT 2010 In retrospect – Red Arrows and Typhoon.

The Red Arrows were excellent as always. They had an interesting start to the year but recovered well. It has to be said that, having seen the aircraft up close they do look well used!

The Typhoon display was great, but the display that closed the flying programme was even better.

The Spitfire/Typhoons ynchro display was breathtaking.

That actually looks worse on my (poor) monitor. I have had a fiddle with it and replaced the image. It should update shortly (I hope)

Thanks anyway.

It might be a question of browser/color profile – I did a quick color edit on the one I thought had the most magenta.

Anyway, it still is a nice shot.
Cheers.

Wiseman

I have checked on 4 monitors, the only one I saw a magenta cast on was my very poor uncalibrated work laptop. Its fine on all the others.

Excellent shots! Does anybody else agree with me that having ROYAL AIR FORCE in big letters on the Red Arrow’s Hawks spoils them?

Very nice shots. Love the composition on the Red Arrows flypast, the full AB Typhoon shot, and a great catch of the Spitfire and the Typhoon crossing paths.
Just one thing: there is a magenta overcast on the Typhoon pix – it prevents the photos reaching their full potential.
Thanks for sharing.
