Alpha Delta 210 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Evening all My first visit to Old Buckenham and what a great day! Fortunately, the weather forecast was wrong and unlike a lot of venues, the sun was behind me which made for easier photography! Hard to pick a favourite, but the Typhoon was awesome!

Thank you for posting Colin Thanks very much, Colin. I really appreciate the kind words! I was really looking forward to the N3200 display because the weather had improved and my wife paid for me to sit in it at Duxford as a wonderful birthday present! 1 hour ago, Pete in Lincs said: Fabulous pictures. Many thanks. Thanks very much, Pete. It was a really good event with pretty much something for everyone. 43 minutes ago, Parabat said: Lovely stuff, you've certainly got the angles sorted, excellent work and lots of dynamic shots. Thanks for the kind words Parabat. Never having been to the airfield, I couldn't work out where crowd centre was, but I got lucky! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) The display was broadcast live on YouTube by Planes TV. It was a good watch (although I did not watch all of it as other things to do). The only slightly annoying thing was the commentators feed into the broadcast was a bit on the loud side compared to the noise made by the aircraft. The sound of a plane doing aerobatics on sunnyish summer Saturday afternoon rolled back the years. The were really nice photos you put up, loved the moisture coming of the wing of the Typhoon.

I've never seen any of the live feeds, but I saw the camera operator standing on the roof of a trailer! I don't know if Planes TV would usually attend this event, or if they are just keeping busy in a "light" season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much! It reminded me of an Old Warden event due to the closeness of the displays and the favourable position of the sun! I will be at Duxford for the next Flying Day on Wednesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I have just arrived at a very drizzly Old Buckenham for day two with everything crossed that the weather improves in the next couple of hours!

canberraman Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 More lovely images Leigh! You are certainly making the most of what is a lean season for events. Particular favorites are Sally B and the Duxford Spit. Thanks for sharing an event I still have yet to attend. Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of Old Warden in Norfolk and you will be close! I'm just downloading my shots from today, so will be posting a few more later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 Unfortunately, the weather was not so kind today, but we still enjoyed the displays. The full-size and RC Extras really were incredible (again)! "Red Sparrows" Spitfire N3200 Turbulent balloon-chasing! Thanks for looking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
