I have been looking through Radliegh's post, which inspired me to look through my flickr page - I have over 50 pages of photos taken this year and here are a few of my favs.
I upgraded to a Canon 7D for Valentine's Day thanks to my lovely fiance, and ended up not only paying for mine but one for her too! Most photos taken with the Canon 7D and 100 - 400 IS L combo
February 2011
Highlight of my month was a visit around 9Sq at RAF Marham, including a trip to the end of 06 Runway in the most awful weather!
April 2011
Noted for the Osprey visit at RAF Mildenhall - also a rather nice AC-130 which contined to do a number of circuits before departing on its mission
Some beautiful sunsets too
April also saw the RAF celebrating the Royal Wedding with a flypast hosted by RAF Coningsby
May 2011
Saw the arrival of NTM (Nato Tiger Meet), hosted in Cambrai, France. We were blessed with the weather but the main movements were ont he week we were not there
with some beautiful tail art..
and some close up...
June 2011
This was a rather special month for me, with making it special for myself, Emma and 3 other guys in the Lake District. The shots really do not do it justice but we arranged a set up which turned into 2 show of forces and two strafing attacks on us on the hill..

Cheers Guys,
Kit is a Canon 7D with a 200mm f/2.8 and 1.4 TC - I usually use a 100 - 400 IS L but my mate loaned me his 200mm 2.8 which is super fast!
Photos are large RAW files and are about 25meg each - Photos ran through Lightroom CS2 and have a lot of noise reduction added to them.

Cheers Guys,
Cuprar not sure when I am at the Hall next. I have a new role at work which is more managerial which takes a lot more out of me. When I do go, i'll give you a shout.
Iwas expecting to get Eagles, but they did not show up, but the 3x GR4's and 7X T2 Hawks were very welcome.
A word to the wise, Bluebell Hill is a total #### to climb!
-
A few shots, not the best by far but some great passes none the less.
Constant cloud cover all day did not help and was shooting at ISO 1600 and above!
enjoy

If it is any help to the guys on here I have the sets from Piero and the retirement schemes. happy to take a few snaps so people can see what yuou get?
-
Fantastic as usual!!
-
you have some real nice shots there - I have some shots from over in the Falkands but cannot put them on here for obvious reasons!
-
I bought all three - 15 euros each.....
-
Got the Resin set from Piero.... I can say it is VERY nice - but at £45 shipped for the whole lot its not cheap!!!
-
I was luck enough to see the sprues last month when Airfix came over to Marham to do a lecture for us. I can assure you the molding onthe kitis superb and not an over done panel line anywhere!
Top job Airfix, the box art is pretty nice too!
-
Now that is pretty awesome!
-
Not really my bag but technically nice sharp shots...
Need to PM you sometime soon re LL
-
C-32 looks lovely in the light... sharp and crisp as ever GP!
-
Thanks guys,
its Def Duxford - joysof shooting in RAW... plus it was a fantastic day!
-
The star of the show for me (along with the Meteor!)
Enjoy!
-
Lozzas stuff is very good indeed. Met him on the hill a load of times and he is a lovely guy.
Looking forward to my next trip up there soon!
-
Hope your next trip is better - hopefully the cold weather will make for better photos....
Noticed you were are Duxford today on the tank abnk I presume?
-
First one is good - but next time, don't be lazy, get over the other side with the sun behind you and you'll find your shots will be 10 times better
Just out of interest, what kit are you using?
-
Zero,
I understand that Dmold have gone it alone and will not do bulk sales to individuals. Sorry!
-
Radleigh I was thinking more like Corris corner to be honest - but yes depending in the Weather - corris or the Bwlch....
-
They are superb - I installed them on the recent phantom I built - Attached - cannot recommend them highly enough - although I was fortunate to get mine FOC (Thanks Scott!)
-
Try Dmold Intakes - they are about $29 each but boy are they good! I know relish models do a cheaper alternative but are not half as good
