John R Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I was tempted not to go as the weather forecast looked dire and it was a long way from Sussex but the ticket had been booked so... Conditions were mixed - rain, flashes of sun and mostly cloud but it produced some interesting lighting. It was light to start but then there was a period of heavy rain around 7pm The BBMF flyby was mostly in shade but I got them as they passed through a flash of sunlight Sopwith Pup Sopwith Triplane Auster Autocrat Avro Tutor Primary glider Two Lysanders set off into the gathering dark (very appropriate) Cat in a coal cellar? The racers - Comet, Speed Six and Mew Gull Provost - see what I mean about the light? Speed Six Mew Gull Comet 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dot Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Absolutely superb photos. The strange light adds to them, and makes them different from the run of the mill Shuttleworth pictures you see all the time, good though they may be. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
