Bournemouth airshow is a total washout this year .. nothing flew today and yesterday wasn't much better. Few shots taken at the airport Thursday with the K-7 and Bigma while waiting for the Vulcan.

Good work Mike.

What's that blue stuff behind the planes? We didn't get that at Shoreham.

The Pembroke is unusual.

Cheers for the comments.

Thanks Oggy, wondered what that plane was .. that's a sad looking sight in your picture though.

well mick, these do look relly good, really crisp.

I love these. Really like the Spitfire, but if I had one small niggle, it seems cramped on the tailplane, maybe because it has so much room around the rest of it.
But other than that, yep, really like them.
Getting there! Thanks to you guys

My fault .. still think I am using the K10D half the time which gives me more space to play with round the subject. Damn the K-7s 100% viewfinder

Actually, that's a point. I have never tested how much room is left outside of my viewfinder.

I like that second Tucano. Is it heavily cropped? If not, I'd like to see a bigger version.

You could probably pull some more shadow detail out of the underside of the Lancaster, too, which would improve it a lot.
