I'll add a few more to this thread as I get time.

Most taken with the DA 55-300, which I'm quite pleased with.

Thanks!

Looks like I might have made a tactical error in not saving the best till last.

One more before bed. If you've seen this thing displayed, you'll know it is an amazing aircraft. Very agile for its size, which you don't quite believe until it comes past you.

So you take pictures as well?

Great shots. The first is perhaps the best airshow pic I have seen. I'd crop a fraction off the bottom so it provides the same clear space as the left hand side.

The first shot is an absolute stunner! I'd be very, very proud of that if it were mine.

I must agree the first shot is truly stunning and I agree with George's suggestion about the crop.

Over on another forum I use everyone plus their dog is posting airshow pictures at the moment and I must say that first one is absolutely streets ahead.

I presume you are quite pleased with the 55-300mm?
