Duxford Air Festival May 2018 Saturday & Sunday


Recommended Posts

Hi

 

After a misty and damp start, the weather improved with unbroken sunshine, which presented the usual Duxford problems of shooting into the sun in the early part of the afternoon. These are the best of a very poor batch of images, but I thought that I would post them anyway.

 

In no particular order.

Thanks Mick.

 

Despite what has been said on a certain other forum, I think that it was a balanced and varied show, but the RAF presence (in the form of the Chinook on Saturday only) was completely eclipsed by three participants from the French Air Force.

Thanks for the kind words, Latinbear.

 

The Rafale was the highlight for me, although I don't think the display was quite as exciting as last year, which was probably because it was one of the first displays for the new display pilot.

 

The light at Duxford is so harsh for photography, compared to Old Warden which has become my favourite venue in recent years, not just from a photography point of view, but also due to the more reasonable pricing policy and relaxed atmosphere.
