Bit of a large photo post from Fairford over the weekend (Saturday, Sunday, Monday), which I thought some of you may enjoy. Maybe not the strongest of line-ups they've ever had, but there was still plenty to cater for everyone, as is always the case with RIAT!

nice pics .. i wont be able to see the results of my camera work till sunday, parents ran off with the camera :crybaby:
 
Wow! Those are some GREAT pics! Amazing detail!

I must know, what kit did you use? Please tell me you're a Canon man. :D
 
well as Volunteer staff for the Royal International Air Tattoo i must say i hope you enjoyed it?

great shots, and always fun at RIAT, myself... well i spoke to Paul Bonhomme, went in nearly every aircraft on site and generally worked my ass off, as such no photos from me apart from the ones i got in my breaks and after public had left, unfortunately no main cam again this year, i never take the thing because i'm there to work and enjoy the show, anyhow... great shots, and looking forwards to seeing yours too Stiz. :salute:
 
Thanks very much, everyone! And yes, I did indeed enjoy it, Smoothie.

Canon 400D (two of them, in fact), along with 400mm F/5.6L, 70-200mm F/4.0L, and the static Herc was taken with a 17-85mm IS - all Canon too.

well i loved it (was only there sat). The only downside was comeing back, we where on the green route which was the quickest way for us, fine on the way in, but comeing out we where directed the other way and so we had to go to swindon, bristol, then north, added about 1 hr to the journy for a total of nearly 6hrs :sleep:

The weather was a bit of a pain as well, not in the fact it didnt rain .. but in the fact that with the wind i couldnt feel my face burning .. so i've got a nice red face now :monkies:o well, it was worth it! :icon_lol:

unlucky there Stiz, yeah a few of my colleagues got wind-burnt. it was fun though i was on site before 0630 most mornings and leaving just gone 2100 most evenings... hangar party on the sunday night was bloody brilliant, i won't even say why.... if any of you are there next year pop into an Info centre and say hi, you'll find myself and SteveB in one of them, not neccessarily in just 1 of them though :wavey:

roll on 2011, and lets hope the weather is just as good if not better next year... heres to what was a successful RIAT :ernae:
 
Anyone know why the Raptor demo team didn't have one Raptor as static or even put the live Raptor on the flightline with the rest of the display aircraft? It's not like it hasn't been photographed a million times at close range so I can't understand why they were kept miles from the public.

Shame I didn't realise where they were at the start so I didn't keep walking up and down the long line hunting them!!

Cracking photos Tweek.

Was a good show. Bring back the Backfire!
 
Ooooo, A400M! :jump:

What was the Patrouille Suisse's display like?
I found it fairly disappointing at this year's ILA compared to 2006.
 
[MARQUEE]WOW ----- thank goodiness :applause: :guinness::icon29::guinness:[/MARQUEE]


Wish I could get such photos, come to that, wish I was there, quite the show.

Many thanks.
