The first airshow of the season for me with the K-7 and Sigma 100-300mm F4...a great combination also helped with some great conditions

Thoses images look great Rob.

My favourite one is No 3

You were lucky with the weather then. I hesitate in going because noticed weather wasn't going to be optimum, but I guess I was wrong. Well, I am off to contact my lawyers to sue the BBC weather reporter

Thanks for your comments Amin. In fact this was the day before the Duxford show, I wasn't going to go to this one but as it was a nice evening decided to go at the last minute

Rob, #6 the silver jet is a great image, it looks so stark and sleek with it's metallic colour against the blue of the sky. Great sharpness, too.
Is this the full frame or a cropped image?

Thanks Paul

No cropping on any of these, they are the full frame.

That's a F86A Sabre based at Duxford and is due to go to the US very shortly to a new owner

The space you've given these subjects is great, too,

A great set - looks like it was a great day. I like the Sabre jet - very nice indeed, and the last pic of the biplane. Have only been to the Shuttleworth collection once; I really ought to go again...

Oh, that Sabre...

Never seen one flying.

Actually they're all good, that Sabre...
Best wishes,

Excellent set. That Sabre must have been the inspiration for some of Gerry Anderson's fictional planes!

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Thanks for all your comments

Actually I have been trying so hard to get a decent shot of the Sabre over the past couple of years and especially since I heard that it wasn't going to be in the UK for much longer. I was very fortunate with the conditions on Saturday as well

That's a Gloster Gladiator based at the Shuttleworth Collection.

Love the Sabre and the Hurricane, but especially the biplane (Tiger Moth?)
