Well, I’ve sent my comments of to BBC’s Points of View.

Angry of Essex 🙂

Well its gone as far as Australia, is that too far? 😀

I had no idea it had gone there. Any idea what their intentions are with it ?

Some nice videos there Simon, better than those I have taken.
I have looked at the red dot finders Tony, and use one on our astronomy telescope.
I’m not sure how effective it would be in helping to video an aerobatic display ?

The best option is probably the loupe or hood which fixes over the LCD. This lets you see in daylight, focus,
and control zoom. I believe touching the shutter control while videoing will maintain focus. Although I
don’t know how easy they are to fit and remove, between taking video and stills.

Although The DSLR can give good results, on fast moving small aircraft you are fighting a losing battle.
I think that for shooting flying aircraft, a camcorder is the best bet as they are pretty inexpensive these days.
I still have an old Hitachi camcorder, now if I could convert that from tape to digital………..

A couple of mine, well the wife using my camera 🙂

Completing it’s turn over the MS Marco Polo, then flying past Tilbury Fort
en route to Whitstable.

Hi Alan, I did think of going to Coalhouse Fort but thought it may just be to far east of the track along with maybe the museum being open which I have not been to in years as I was told a lot of Whitley has gone on display also, North Weald won as more of a dead cert for seeing her.

It wasn’t CoalHouse fort we went to, but Tilbury fort. Which is directly opposite Gravesend.
We took a chance on her keeping to advertised track, but thankfully she did. Also had a good view from the fort wall.
Being members of CADW we didn’t have to pay to go in the fort.
Out of the kindness of my heart, I let my wife use my DSLR for stills, while I used the bridge camera for video.
I should have told her to zoom in a bit more 🙂 and the video was a bit shaky. Still a very emotional experience though.

She did quite a long photographic session with Jet Provost G-BWSG before landing.
There was a live feed of the landing, but it kept crashing and re-starting from the beginning.

I wonder if her last couple of flights will be formation flypasts ? Maybe for a 2016 Calendar ?

Lovely view at Tilbury fort. She came down from North Weald, did a nice easy turn to the left, then headed
off down the Thames towards Whitstable. Still quite can’t take in that this will have been the last time we will ever see
a Vulcan in the air. 🙁 🙁 🙁

Still we haven’t done bad this year. Seen her at two airshows and two flypasts. Having not previously seen her since
the 2011 Southend airshow.
