Dan,
Good luck with your qualifying cross country! I still remember mine from 2yrs ago. It was during some pretty horrible weather. I nearly diverted at one point but I must addmit i’m glad I didnt in the end as all went well. Once you’ve got more confidence i’d recommend you take a trip down to Cornwall as they have some really nice scenery – be aware though, the weather can be pretty bad down there and sometimes the forcast winds are not necessarily the same as what you come accross.

I agree with your comment regarding GA airfields. They each have their own individuality and you also never know what will turn up!

Longshot,
Thanks very much for the kind comments. I think I do have a relatively poor photo of RAF St Mawgan, but i’ll have to have a look through my CD’s to find it. I’ll have a look tonight though. Sadly though, Predannack is the one I didnt get! Now I fly from Cranfield so its not so easy to photograph the cornish airfields. I will again eventually though!

Excellent set of Cornish airfields…. got any more? St Mawgan , Predannack?

Nice work! These make me really want my PPL now, I love the charm and diversity of small GA airfields. Just need to nail the weather for my cross-country qualifier then I’ll be pretty much sorted! Cheers, Dan.

Thanks very much, T5. I hope you get some flying in again soon. Its always great to get back into the air.

Nice shots! I can’t wait to get home and to start doing some flying! 🙂

haha :diablo:
Thanks very much, Paul! Yeah I know what you mean about the white balance. I’m still getting used to different settings on the camera. I think the LHR shots were my first time out shooting planes with the S8000fd. I have a good friend (coincidentally called Paul) who has been helping me and recently hes been giving me tips on the white balance but I just need practice really.
Thanks once again for the comment. 😎

Tell you what… Why don’t you stick to flying planes and leave taking photos to those of us who know what we’re doing? :diablo:

Ha! I joke of course, and hopefully you’ll take that with the good humour with which it was intended! A nice and interesting selection. Just be sure to select the appropriate white balance setting for the conditions you’re shooting in to avoid the blue-ish look in the commercial stuff. 🙂

Thanks, Brian. I thought some of these might be of interest to you after your comments about liking Cornwall so much in another topic. 😀 😎

I’ve got quite a few photos i’ve taken from the air over Cornwall during my time down there. Sadly though I did lose some when my PC died once a few years back. I’ll have a look through my CD’s and see what else I may have that maybe of interest.

Some nice shots there, the air to ground were very good, keep going!!

Cheers Brian.;)

Thankyou.
Sorry I didnt ID the airfields before. They are;

1) Final Approach to runway 05 at Perranporth, Cornwall.
2) Lands End Aerodrome St. Just. Cornwall.
3) RAF Portreath, Cornwall.
4) RNAS Culdrose, Cornwall.
5) Truro Airfield, Cornwall.

The aerial shot of the stadium is Stadium;MK. Home of the Milton Keynes Dons. I’m a Liverpool fan but as I live right by stadium;MK I also like to see the Dons win too.

the aerial shots are great, any chance you could ID the airfields for us

cheers

Chris
