vanandjuanunited Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) What camera? Where abouts were pics taken? Am debating a bridge cam to supplement my dslr. Can't justify £600 on a lens I won't really use except on my hols so looking at something in between. Hs20exr is quite appealing at the moment Oh and nice pics. Coningsby on my list of places to stop off at on my travels this year. Edited March 22, 2012 by vanandjuanunited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ursa_major Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Am debating a bridge cam to supplement my dslr. Can't justify £600 on a lens I won't really use except on my hols so looking at something in between. Hs20exr is quite appealing at the moment £600 on a lens? That's about £200 or so less than I paid for my *entire* setup, dslr body plus 18-55, 50-200 and a Sigma 70-300. With that kit, I've had numerous photos published in magazines. The Sigma 70-300 apo macro DG lens was £170-ish when I bought it 4 or 5 years ago and does the job nicely. For the vast majority of UK airfields you don't need more than 300mm to get full-frame shots of the action. I moved to a dslr setup from a bridge camera and wouldn't move back through choice. G.

Lightningboy2000 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Has there been another Exercise going on? Was surprised to see a Tornado heading over Sudbury in suffolk towards wattisham, plus two ships of Lynxes & Apaches all over the place.

gary1701 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Has there been another Exercise going on? Was surprised to see a Tornado heading over Sudbury in suffolk towards wattisham, plus two ships of Lynxes & Apaches all over the place.Martin Hi, Although I didn't see them myself, I gather Wattisham had four 1 Regiment Lynx AH7's in sometime today. Not that common to see aircraft from the Germany based Regiment pop over. The Marham Tornado's have been quite active in the Wattisham circuit for several weeks now. You can often go months without any fast jets visiting, but there's probably been a couple of Tornado's a week using the Wattisham circuit since the new year. Haven't seen a Typhoon for ages though, they did also frequent the Wattisham circuit but seem to have lost interest recently. Sentinels, King Airs (one this week), Tucano's (also a couple this week) all sometimes pop over for some circuit work - and to wind the AAC up as well obviously! Also had a civil registered Challenger Biz jet in Wednesday. This belongs to Marcus Evans, the reclusive millionaire who own Ipswich Town Football Club (brave man!). He's used Wattisham before when coming over to make some transfer deals and has never been publicly identified. You'd think somebody who values their privacy that much would not have his jet registered M-EVAN! Good pics Mark, I hope to get up there again starting sometime in June.

gary1701 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 gary let me know when you come up id like to meet up, ill buy you lunch for all the piccys youve done for me Thanks Mark and will do. Unlikely to be before June due to my annualised hours, and even after then it will probably only be fridays when the weather is decent until my first block holiday in late July/early August.
