Hi John. Beautiful light on the BBMF and I love the first "Otto" shot. Looking forward to seeing some more!

The second BBMF picture is quite superb.

 

Hope the weather holds for today so I can get some decent pictures!

Sorry its taken so long to get these up, turns out I was photographing with a broken/fractured wrist during the airshow weekend!

 

Thanks for Looking!

Love those little Turbulents!  Sweet little plane...looks like an old Russian Polikarpov.

[brianthemodeller 637]

Nice pictures. You must have been standing close to us on the Sunday as your camera angles are virtually identical to mine!
