I apologise for not answering any questions – I have been at the Yeovilton Air Day today and it was rather wet…

Davforr – Yes I have a DSLR – I use a Canon EOS-10D – best thing I ever brought, apart of a car to get it around in.

Captainben – The same question was being asked by quite a few Luton guys, but it left with a full load – could have been doing a special charter?

Wannabe Pilot – Depends on the size of the aircraft, 767/A300/757 I barely need to zoom at all unless I want close up shots but then my minimum is around 150mm with my lens. For small side-ons of small biz-jets like that gorgeous, ultra-rare retro-looking Sabre Liner then you’re going to need quite a bit of zoom, say 200-300mm. Hope that helps.

Thanks guys,

There’s quite a bit of luck involved too – I use a Canon 10D with a 100-400 lense made by Canon – Sigma are pretty damn good too.

I’m thinking about getting a Canon 10D if they reduce in price (they have just been discontinued).

It would be well worth it – Canon cameras are superb, just make sure you shop around first -there are some great deals around…

Cool shots. I am surprised to see that BAC-111, is it still in use or parked?

Very much parked up. There are four of them registered in Nigeria and of course Miss World 2001 never took place because of mass riots, something to do with the fact that most Nigerians think the competition is 1,000 years ahead of its time.
