The sun was to the right and behind me all afternoon! Were you at point J or K on this map? Or were you at the 09 end of 27/09?

Great shot of the Skyraider in particular, Richard.

are still out of focus

Not with you there Kev. ???

Are you sure it’s not just bad old camera shake & the fact that I’m not properly panning? 😀 😀

I do my best to keep up with the fast ones, but they’re usually gone before I can get out of my chair 😀 😀 😀

Good shots from the S5600 – may I suggest you try a UV filter? I’ve found it reduces purple fringing – there is just a smidgeon of it if you zoom in on your pictures. Mine used to suffer quite a bit more than yours does, though.

I’m using one on my S6500fd, and it’s made a world of difference.

Look at my Yeovilton 2007 pics, on my website, to see how much better they seem to be even when compared to previous 2007 photos taken with the same camera.

I, and many others, went on to the airfield at about 1:15pm. They close entry at about 2pm again, and then reopen at 5pm – primarily to let those on the field out again.

I could have gone round the static, if I wanted, but didn’t have the leg power.

I did see a lot of people over where you were, too, though. But I want to support such events. Plus, I believe I would have had to walk quite a distance to get into that field.

Wish I’d seen the A10, though.

I stayed until the end of the day, so I’m not sure what you mean. Take a look at my website. Click on my photosite, below, then click on Air Displays, then on Photo Gallery. You’ll find a section for 2007, and the remainder are in there.

I was one of the last to leave the “paddock”, but I couldn’t walk round the static park – my legs are giving me a lot of gype right now.

By the way, I saw you hiding in the corner, with your beige trousers & tile, Nick (Blacow). Not sure if you saw me, but I did raise my hand a couple of times when I noticed you looking in my direction. Couldn’t come and say hello, my legs don’t work so well these days. Hence the reason for no static park pics.

Nice – I visited the Thames Barrier a few times, to fix problems on their computers, while working for the Environment Agency.

Lovely day.

Ex RAF Spitfire Pilot, Raymond Baxter?

What I want to know is, how on Earth (where else?) do they get the shuttle onto the back of the Jumbo?

It works a treat. Coppermine is exactly what I needed – come take a look.

I’ve always found these extra modes aren’t worth using. It’s either full auto, shutter or appeture priority modes, taking note of any red (out of range) warnings.

Propellers or rotors require a slower exposure, otherwise you end up with a photo of a plane that’s just about to crash!!!

Jets are easier, no moving parts, so full auto and panning works for me (usually).

Exif data shows a very fast setting of 1/1000s – are you sure you had your Canon S3 in auto mode??

It looks like a dullish day, too – so the camera was fighting for light on two fronts. Speed too high, and lowish light levels. That would have raised the ISO, but I can’t see what that is from the Exif data.

I had a quick play with it, and I managed to get something not too bad – but I had to sacrifice size in order to make it presentable.

PM me your email addy and I’ll send it to you.

It’s difficult to keep track of who flies what – about the only aircraft I think I know of the pilot is the P40 & that is, I believe, Peter Teichman. So thanks, I’ll try to incorporate this info into the notes on my website (at the moment, I’ve only done notes for 3 aircraft at the 2003 Kemble album on my website. So it might take a while 😀

A quick google tells me that Venoms and Vulcans (probably only B1s) served simultaneously for a few years – the Vampires already being withdrawn in 1955, and the Venoms continuing into the ’60s.
