OMG, a flying Fury! That’s awesome.
The trio of Jugs are fantastic as well – especially the bare-metal pair, as is the 109.
One big advice on your pictures, though: Use a longer shutterspeed. All your propellers appear frozen and this takes the motion out of prop planes. Never go above 1/400th of a second. You’ll find the “failure rate” of your pictures will double or triple, but the pictures that do work out well are definitely worth it!
I personally shoot anywhere between 1/100th and 1/350th of a second, but 1/400th is just about acceptable too.
Practise with longer shutterspeeds and increase the time when you get more comfortable with them. I’ve seen airshow pictures taken at 1/30th of a second and they are absolutely fabulous. I haven’t managed myself yet though and find 1/100th already more than a challenge to keep in focus!

Nice to see Ed Russell’s ‘109 getting out more often 🙂
Nice pics of the Thunderbolts, too. That peel-off shot reminds me of that old movie “Fighter Squadron”.
