    These are the best shots I’ve seen of the Valiant – well done! However, they still insist on putting fences round the nose so you can’t get shots without them!! Any idea when it will go in, as I am still hoping to get shots of iut outside IF there is still time and IF the weather behaves?

    Love the Typhoon pics; so far I was not really impressed with its lines, but while coming in service and pictured in damp weather, this bird seems to draw vortices over every curve and protrusion it has, making it a great subject for dynamic pictures…

    …sounds like a girl I used to know…. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :diablo:

    Thanks. I’ve got a 28-300mm lens and I wondered how good it would be for airshow photography. Will I be able to get close enough for the aireal shots

    Nick

    Nick,

    I have used a 28-300mm lens for years and found it very suitable for almost everything, except the odd distant shot.

    The weather down here in Cornwall has been, shall we say terrible. Hopefully after looking at the forecasts today, we are hoping to go tomorrow and at the worst on Monday.

    I will set off for Eggesford tomorrow morning to see how things are there.

    Its such a great shame after last year, but one thing you cant book is the weather.

    Best wishes,

    Martin

    Martin,

    The weather forecast for tomorrow is greatly improved, so I’ll look out for you at Keevil.

    You want T6 / Harvards ?

    The German Harvard definately warrants inclusion, but not the New Zealand version as the colour is not even bright red. This is almost a ‘brick red’, as RNZAF found the usual problem of maintaining dayglo paint and repainted all trainers around 1970 in grey and ‘brick red’.

    Latest news on the grapevine is that it was a ‘K and it possibly hit a landmine on landing.

    Allow me to shead some light on this!

    The aircraft sighed over Swindon were indeed DC6 G-APSA and Pembroke G-BXES/XL954. The Six is to be part of a film being shot on location at Dusnfold and the Pembroke was collecting the crew. Both came from Kemble where 8 Classic Flight aircraft were practicing for the Biggin Hill airshow.

    Here is a little taster of what to expect, and for fans of large piston aircraft, Biggin Hill will be unmissable this year!!

    Tom.

    Saw them both fly low over Swindon at 1710 yesterday, heading SE! Heard a rumbling and saw the Pembroke which was a great surprise, then ‘PSA right behind it – tremendous! I am presently working on trying to get Red Bull to bring their DC-6 from Austria to Biggin Hill so we can see TWO DC-6s in the air together!

    I’ve got an idea -why go to all this trouble, when you could just put it on to a DVD and sell it on e.bay? I would buy one and I’m sure others would at a nominal price. :rolleyes:

    Nope – superb and I’ve built a model of that Vampire of the RAAF “Telstars” Aerobatic Team in the Museum at Point Cook. Lovely Meatbox!

    Someone say Balliol ?????

    Albert : I have a 1206 arrival slot for BSEU at Kemble 18 June.

    Rgds

    Will look out for you. Last time you absconded and I waited for ages beside BSEU! BTW, you’re not paying attention to the thread (QUOTE)

    The Boscombe Down Sea Balliol, but before it was tarted up for the 1968 Abingdon show,(UNQUOTE)

    I have the same shot but not before Abingdon 68!

    Come on Albert, you know you’re itching to show us your photo of the dayglow A&AEE Javelin at Coltishall’s Battle of Britain show.

    A challenge? The Boscombe Down Sea Balliol, but before it was tarted up for the 1968 Abingdon show, the A&AEE Harvards before they went yellow, and / or the Germany-based USAFE L-20 Beaver. (I don’t know why I do this to myself; I just know you will come up with the goods!)

    Steve,

    I’m sure YOU must have these, as I have a slide of Harvard FT375 that I’m sure I copied from a slide I borrowed from you, taken at Benson in 1962?

    Of course MOTF is right and it’s not just a case of owning the right kit, as action shots take practise, but what’s I’m saying is that it’s a lot easier with digital SLRs these days than with 25 ASA Kodachrome in inferior equipment around 30-odd years ago, not knowing whether your shots would be sharp or not. With digital, if an aircraft makes several flypasts at an air show you can check each one after you’ve taken it! I also like Robbo’s lighthearted reponse, as indeed aviation photography is a lot of fun and most enjoyable but the reason for the thread was to ask how you can make money from the hobby and hope that these questions have now been answered.
