RE: What’s the gem for Flying Ledgends then?
Bah. Do you people only ever talk about aeroplanes?
What about on the ground? They always have a handful of veterans attending. The planes will be the same as always, because there isn’t really much else available in the UK / Europe. We’ll get a plane or 2 from the States (I’d like to see a B24 or the Casa 2111). Maybe something that has just come on the register too. Personally, I don’t wish to see anymore skyraiders. They waste sky. The Connie I don’t care for either, though like Roger, I expect we’ll see one this year.
All I want to see really is good weather and clear skies like last year, and everyone get back on the ground safely.
And a flightline that isn’t horrifically bunched up and covered in crap – unless anyone wants a flourescent orange jacket / toolbox / Tesco’s bag / canopy cover / modern fuel truck in full view when you take your pictures, having paid £3 to get not actually very close at all? Not even thinking about those bloody Cessna’s parked in the background, and the aircraft that you can’t get close too. Every year the organisers piss me off big time. then, you find a clearly viewed aircraft, and some guy comes along with a great big wad of toilet roll and begins polishing it. Hours before it will fly. And does it really slowly, leaving stuff in front of the aircraft as well so that if you can hide him from view you still get crap in the frame. Fine, I can remove most, if not all, distractions on the computer for prints or digital files. But I shoot slide film predominantly. And mainly on 120 film. So i’m just wasting my time.
