D-Day Anniversary Air Show Sunday 25th May
Alpha Delta 210 replied to Alpha Delta 210's topic in Aviation Photography
Two weddings? Every man's idea of a perfect weekend! You missed a great show. Hi Rick. Unfortunately, I only have these two that might be of use to you from Sunday's show. If you need any more, I will have a look at my shots from other shows. I will post the "Memphis Belle" pictures in a new thread this afternoon. -
D-Day Anniversary Air Show Sunday 25th May
Alpha Delta 210 replied to Alpha Delta 210's topic in Aviation Photography
Thanks, Rick. I must have hundreds of pictures of "Sally B" taken at various shows over the years! I will post a few of the underside taken on Sunday later today in this thread. I have a few pictures of the real "Memphis Belle" in a disassembled state taken in Memphis a few years ago before the National Museum of the US Air Force reclaimed her. I can post them in a new thread, if you're interested. -

Thanks, Mark. It was pretty special to see all those striped Daks together! -
Beautiful! I have a real soft spot for Leyland, AEC, Foden, Scammel and ERF - but Mack? Per-lease!

Thanks, Ian. I hope you're pleased with your pictures. Thanks, Longhorn. As I was taking the pictures of '434, I wondered if you were at the show. -
Bruntingthorpe Cold War jets - return of the Ten
Alpha Delta 210 replied to canberraman's topic in Aviation Photography
Lovely photo-essay. I have only been to Bruntingthorpe once - when the Victor slipped the surly bonds of Earth! -
Thanks Kallisti. I have looked at lots of pictures on the Internet and have decided to "break up" the rather heavy bar armour by attaching some stowage. I agree that Airfix have done very well within the limitations of the technology, as I wouldn't have been able to do what you're doing with your Scimitar. Thanks Parabat. I have applied a second Raw Umber wash - next step pigments!!

Thanks, guys. It was pretty special to see that number of Skytrains/Dakotas lined up on the ground, let alone in the air! -

Your bar armour looks the business! I love the look of that Bronco Buffalo. I have fallen head over heels with the Husky, after spending about 30 minutes drooling over one at Duxford yesterday! I'm sure that I had seen a 1/35 kit of one recently, but research has drawn a blank!- 89 replies

Thanks Parabat. I'm pleased you enjoyed the pictures. Hi Steve.Thanks for taking the time to comment. The striped Typhoon and Spitfire were quite a sight weren't they? I agree that the Army display was good. I spent ages admiring the Husky and learned a lot about it from the RLC sergeant. Unfortunately, there was no Warrior on display, which is a shame as I'm just finishing the Airfix one. Hi Ian, yes the weather was very kind (despite the forecast!) Glad you got to enjoy the show anyway. -
Hi Spent an excellent day at Duxford today with a mate. Here area few quick edits. As you can see, the weather was very kind, Thanks for looking.

Hi Paul. I'm impressed - I had to look up the Navion, as I had never seen one before! I understand that two of the Skytrains had made the trip from the USA. That's good. Excellent. A friend told me that he stayed to the end to see the C-47s and did't regret it. Pleased you had a good day. I'm going tomorrow.

Hi Tim Thanks for the kind words. I have two Nikon bodies and two lenses - the oldest body is a D80 with a Nikkor 28-200mm VR (Vibration Reduction) lens attached. I tend to use this for taxying shots and formations/large aircraft. I can hand-hold this at shutter speeds as low as 1/40 which means excellent prop-blur on stationery aircraft. My second body is a D7000 with a Nikkor 300mm prime lens. This is a non-zoom and non-VR lens, which does sometimes require some swift swapping with the D80 for larger aircraft or formations! Hope that helps.

Thanks very much, guys. I hadn't noticed the props on the Twin Otter, but you're right, Parabat it looks as if someone has pulled a couple from the spares box after losing the originals to the carpet monster! I had been planning to go to the show today, but the forecast is so bad that I'm postponing my visit until tomorrow.

D-Day Typhoon FGR4 Revell 1/72
Alpha Delta 210 replied to Takamota's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
That's a great-looking model! Certainly beats low-vis grey schemes, in my opinion. Well done.
