So going by the above info the BBMF+1 should be at Southend around 3 to 3:30pm ish ?

Once they get here, is there anything else planned for them for Thursday ?
Nothing else on the BBMF website.

Very nice indeed !!

Great photos. Nice to see close -ups of aircraft we saw at Eastbourne on Saturday.

Thanks for that Simon, it’s really appreciated. I’m using a Nikon D3300 and Nikkor 55-300 lens, which I only bought a couple
of months ago. Fitted with UV filter, which perhaps I should leave off ?
I did wonder about using either shutter or aperture priority, so that gives me something to experiment with.
I shoot in RAW + JPEG, which covers most options, and usually delete around 60% of what I take.
(how did we ever manage with film ?).
You do have to be careful processing RAW images don’t you ? I’m using Lightroom, and It’s so easy to get carried away
and over process an image.
On the other hand, you can recover some decent images that would otherwise be consigned to the trash folder.

I hope nobody objects to me posting these ?

Some of the Volunteers helping to raise funds for the trip. They are doing a great job
I have the T-Shirts and hat to prove it.

One funny thing happened when we went back for a calendar at the end of the flying display.
It was quite noisy, due to various fun fair attractions close by.
I said to one of the chaps “Can I have a calendar please ?” “Yes, we’re from Canada”, he replied.

“No, can I have a calendar please “, “Yes we’re Canadian”, he and his colleague came back with.

No, a CALENDAR, Ah, a calendar, he finally came back with. Must be a language thing 🙂 ?

Very nice .
