Hi guys, just a few from this show as they had a lot of aircraft flying that you've already seen from the last thread.
I'll start with some video from the 7D though. Thought I'd have a play around whilst I wasn't photographing stuff.
Firstly, a Percival Provost that had just been worked on in front of us. Initial shots taken with the 24-105 L attached. Flight shots with the 17-40, which I was stuck with as he arrived back from his circuit unexpectedly just after I'd been shooting wide. Sorry for the wobbly bits, the 17-40 isn't stabilised, and holding a DSLR in outstretched arms isn't ideal!
And at the end of the day, my spot right in the centre at the front was blessed with a high-revving engine run of the Bristol M1.C. Amazing rotary engine that was so loud, it almost overloaded the mic on the 7D and forced it into volume-levelling mode! The wind was incredible, really sucking the air in past us.
And some shots, all heavily processed to recover shadows and kill highlights. It was a very hard day for light, haze and heat distortion.
Thumper Mk.III of the BBMF
A Yak 50, putting on an absolutely amazing show of pilot skill and aircraft quality.
Polikarpov PO2
Hawker Hunter T7
T-28 Fennec
......and a dirty pass!
1932 Blackburn B2......the last airworthy example.
F-86 Sabre......the only airworthy example of the A variant.
Supermarine Spitfire PR XI
