Hendon already have a Hurricane. Plus point for today, those awful multi-coloured LED floor lights were turned off. Proper colour balance this time. 😀

According to the new FP, this is the last time you will see the BoB Hall – the space is to be used for a different themed display and the BoB airframes relocated

What no link?

I hope Brian doesn’t mind if I post a few pics I took at the B of B hall at Hendon today.

Not a problem and if any one else wants to post photo’s feel free.

I should be down tomorrow for some record shots.

CeBro – the hoisting bands are to stop the wheels collapsing not to lift it by.

Took advantage of the one day of the week when it wasn’t raining or gale force winds blowing but it was cold despite the sunshine and wall to wall blue sky. TF-51/’Miss Velma’ went flying late morning as did the ARCo Harvard/’Taz’ which went to the north for an air test. An Apache AH1/ZJ182 helicopter from Wattisham was doing circuits and was using the grass runway, due to GA types landing and doing circuits on the hard runway, to pirouette up and down the length of it. A Squirrel HT1/ZJ261 helicopter from Shawbury dropped in for lunch. Not sure if one or two Hercules passed through Duxford mid afternoon. Caught the tail end of one pulling up and turning west as I walked out of AirSpace and as I was walking towards Whittlesford rail station, another C-130J Hercules C5/ZH886 (or was it the same one) did a wheels down approach before heading off in the same direction as the other.

Just for snafu, camera settings added to the photos above. 😀

Although the lights were on, to the eye it’s still quite dark in the BoB Hall but it does help photography wise that Sony make the best low light camera sensors at the moment and the brand new back-illuminated sensor in the A7rII increases low-light dynamic range performance which is very good for recording details in shadows. Example below. The first Stuka shot is straight out of the camera, reduced in size for posting and nothing else. Flash was not used as it was to far away to make a difference. Below it the processed image showing dial details that can not be seen in the first image. A tripod/long exposure shot would have revealed even more detail.

Looks a lot brighter than I remember it. The ISO and shutter speed mean more than knowing what lens you used – we can all see the distortion where it appears!

Distortion because it’s a wide angle lens and right click on image and ‘View Image EXIF Data’ for settings.

And where abouts on the RAFM Facebook page does it say that?

Was in there this morning and it looks like Duxford. War birds with bits missing.:D

Is your month right for your picture?

So to be clear is this a library picture, not Jan 2016, Cropping in background seems unlikely for January?

Have you checked the exif info? Date and Time (Digitized) – 2016:01:15 15:46:08 and the date time stamp is in sequence with the one before and the one after it.

You’re accusing the Duxford Paparazzi of cheating?:mad:
