Vulcan displaying at the 1976 Cosford Airshow

by MikeInDevon

Taken at the Cosford Airshow in 1976. Incredibly this Vulcan performed a low level wingover at the airshow, it just didn't look possible with such a large aircraft...
Tri-X, negative photograph using my K50 and DA 50mm macro lens + slide copier.

It would been my OM1 with either a 50mm standards lens of a 75-150 Zuiko zoom as they were the only two lenses I had then. I would have developed the film myself. The image is a crop of the FF neg captured with my K-50 and PP'd using Gimp. They flew very low and close in those days!

THX. Zuiko lenses were and are very good.

Great one. The last flying one didn't turn up at an airshow a few years back as it can't fly in bad weather.

Thanks,

I don't think there's any left now that are allowed to fly anymore just taxi...
