Daimen I think it has to be the best day out I have had in ages the daytime event was good on its own but then the nighttime stuff was just the best thing I have been to in ages.

The flying was top and the Gants were fantastic the music was very good not my normal sort of music but it was excellent and the fireworks were just the perfect end to it.

The last bit after the flying had finished and they were playing “land of hope and glory” with loads of fireworks going off was very atmospheric.

The only problem I had was the camera was not 100% setup right as sometimes when I pressed the shutter the lens started zooming and would not take a photo unless I turned it off and then on again.

Does anyone have any ideas how to stop this please ?

Thanks MOFT.

I was using my new 35mm Minolta SLR but its so much more advanced and powerful than anything I have used before its taking some time to get used to. Plus its my first ever go at photoing flying aircraft.

Was a very good day out but I got carried away today and went running off down Sainsburys and spent just over £20 getting them all processed on the 1-hour thing.

Robbo that 747 was very impressive I live on the flightpath to East Midlands so we get plenty of airliners flying over but nothing like that.
