Shuttleworth Season Premiere

Recommended Posts

Morning all,

 

A selection of my images from a superb show at Old Warden that has already set the bar high for what promises to be one of the best seasons in recent years. Great to see the Camel finally fly, and the Puma was a treat, but those BBMF passes were the absolute highlight for me  :cool:

Superb shots as always! Number 2 is an absolute peach. I don't think I've ever seen the Blenheim and the Hurricane together.

 

What great weather for what looks like a really top notch show. Thanks for sharing these.

Some of your pictures look a lot like mine - especially the first one of the Lanc and the Bristol M1. You were not by any chance the guy standing a few yards away from me who let out a cry of 'Yesss!' when you realised it was actually going to give us a topside shot?

I messed up the one of the Boxkite/Triplane crossover by focussing on the Triplane

Quite possibly, it's exactly the sort of thing I'd do! I was positioned almost directly behind the Lysander, one row back from the front, but repositioned nearer to the first row of cars when I saw the Lanc approaching from behind. What a great pass it was too, a shot I've been after for years :)

No, it wasn't you. I was in my preferred position, about three rows of cars back. It gives me a bit more height to see over the hordes on the flightline and saves being clobbered by those with long lenses when panning.

Mnay years ago at Shoreham I thought I was going to get that shot but the positioning and bank angle meant that all I got was a side view.
