TFC Duxford Walkabout – 19Nov09

Going to its new owner in the US… Rod Lewis I think.

Cheers,
Richard

Thats a shame 🙁 thanks for info.

Thanks for the comments Lady and Gents but as far as I’m concerned they are just a bog standard set of images showing off the Fighter Collection.

There was no planning in this set as I didn’t know I would have the access and as the title suggests I had a walk around most of the aircraft taking high shots with the monopod, eye level shots and low down reference shots. I draw aeroplanes both scale and picture for those who don’t know. It wasn’t till I saw them on my ‘puter that I decided which ones to post.

One thing I think it does prove is that you don’t need high end and expensive equipment to achieve a decent result. 😀

Bimble No 50 tomorrow :rolleyes:

You need to make it visits 52 before December ends Brian!;):)

That’s a cracking idea. I’ll suggest that to my local museum!

Cool! I wish you good luck… personally, I think it would be a big draw!

…..Take one aircraft a month, and get the access panels off. I’m sure you’d get more regular visits from chaps like us, just to see what was new……

Is it just me who finds it fascinating seeing the aircraft all naked with their panels removed?

I agree with you… always find this sort of thing fascinating. I wish non-flying museums would do this occasionally… it would make for a good reason to go by. Take one aircraft a month, and get the access panels off. I’m sure you’d get more regular visits from chaps like us, just to see what was new.

Lovely photos by the way… any shots of the corsair by chance?

Cheers,
Richard

Looking at that Fury’s engine, can’t help but feel like I’m looking at:

A) A humans inside organs
B) Sci-fi space engine (warp 7)
C) Can of worms

What is the status of the Beaufighter (?) lurking in the background?

Another set of great pictures. Thanks for posting. 🙂

Some people just develop a talent for photography but I think Brian was born with his brain wired up ready to compose great shots. Another set of cracking images Brian thanks.

The pics of machines with panels off are an aeromodellers dream. Well done

Climb ladders. Nooooooo. To dangerous 😀

Camera on end of monopod and held above head with remote shutter release to click the pic. 😉

Brian

Nice photos. As a person who thatches roofs for a living, I cant see any problem with ladders 🙂

Dave

Brian. Must agree with all above, this is an excellent collection of photos !
My eye is drawn to the architecture of the exhaust system within photos 1 and 2 ! that is workmanship at its best, in my opinion !

Keith.

Brian, some unusual photos revealing fascinating interior details of the TFC aircraft. The ladder climbing and low level work has really paid off. Many thanks!

Very nice pictures. It’s been very interesting seeing the old photos in ‘Pre digital photos’ thread but you can’t beat digital and these pictures are SO CLEAR.

Great stuff and very interesting subject matter too. Thanks for posting.

Lovely pictures Brian.
