Martin, terrific photos which really pick up the evocative atmosphere that is unique to East Kirby – amplified by the wonderful sight of the live flying D H family of bi-planes.
The 2 shots of the moths and the pilots vigorous aileron imputs to combat a tricky x wind are both brilliant catches.
No doubt your groups visit to E.Kirby was warmly received by the genuine old fashioned friendship which the Pantons and colleagues always exude whenever you visit.
Some great shots Brian, like the Nimrod with Easy Jet background and the multi colour Hunter shots are great – thank goodness for the likes of Jonathan Whaley -last week his delightful and sensitive displays in the Mk 1A Spit at Shorham to the contrast of his Hunter display
Terrific shooting Martin, your finals just before landing of the Hurricanes and Buchon are magnificent – the brown P40 in poor light is always a challenge
Nice shooting Dean, like the Stearman and the P51 especially , always helps with terrific light and pilots who work at topsides – not far away again it seems!
As thumbnails -interesting -when zoomed out terrific! – standing on that terrain looks for goats – landing and taking off aircraft – seriously brave – thanks for sharing Max ( self evident why its called “hearts cross”)
Thanks for comments, – I was along towards the end of the in use runway with the gorgeous backdrop of the s. farm and recycling plant – not far away from you I suspect – glad you saw the Tiffy do a vertical depart – being 3 squadron as opposed to the 29 display team they are not normally priveleged to use burners at Coningsby – my horizontal departure (by car) was earlier with Waddington early morning start for 8 squadron day. I know of folks in my neck of the woods who travelled some distance to Waddo for the Thursday night departure(cancelled) of 558 and again on the following scrubbed Friday night.
Nice shots – the perspective of the Arrow Active makes the aircraft appear even more compact – the Jungmeister really does seem to be adjusting the elevator trim of the magi
