Well you did’nt miss much re the Typhoon. It was the quietest and most restrained display i have ever seen by one. Hopefully he’s saving himself for the actual display.
Was a bit boring. I have a sneaky feeling he was spying out landmarks for his display.
Brian, i may have missed it somewhere but why did the Nimrod come back dismantled on a trailer?
From the HAC web site:
Nimrod II Update
The Nimrod, as will be known, had an engine problem at the Yeovill (check spelling) display last year. The problems proved more extensive than we first thought, and so the aircraft was brought back to our facility in Sussex, the engine removed and stripped down. The necessary engineering work has now been completed in our own engine rebuild facility at Retrotec and it should be back in the aircraft in February after bench testing. The opportunity was also taken to do a major service on the aircraft down here.
Yes, but I can’t remember which one it was now. Read it on another forum.
I saw last Saturday the T.20 Sea Fury with all it’s panels on and parked in the north side of Hangar 2, where the Catalina had been, along with the MkV Spitfire.
For ground shots I use a Sony Alpha 350 with a Sony 18-250mm lens, shutter priority for the speed. Flying. I now use a Sony Alpha 450 with a Sony 70-400mm G SSM lens, again SP, and I’ts only the second time I’ve used that combination so still getting used to it and the weight of the lens hence the chopped off wing tip on one of the images :rolleyes:.
