Alpha Delta 210 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Hello again I often visit Duxford on the day before a show in the hope of catching the arrivals and practice/validation displays. Here are some of my favourites from the Friday before the Battle of Britain Air Show. Thanks for looking. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberraman Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Another superb set of images Leigh without the usual airshow crowds and with some brighter skies. Duxford set a high bar with this year's BoB airshow so let's hope they build on this for future events. Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Looks like a great lineup! Fantastic pics, you've certainly got 'the knack'! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it was a cracking show and the pressure is on for future events! I really struggle with photography at Duxford, though! 50 minutes ago, Parabat said: Looks like a great lineup!

Latinbear Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Excellent set AD! The head on of the Hind shows off its menace very nicely and the head on the Lysander is a beauty! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must confess that your two favourites are also my two favourites! 4 hours ago, John Laidlaw said: Great photos as always - thanks for sharing them! That's so kind of you to say, John. I'm delighted that you enjoyed them. The show on Saturday must rank as one of the best (non-Legends) Duxford shows of recent years with a couple of unusual mixed formations, the Czechs and of course the fabulous "Duxford Big Wing". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Lovely photos. Agree the head on Lysander is great. Quite how you managed to make the Lizzie dynamic is beyond me but you have ! She wasn’t flying straight and level with you falling off the ladder at the time Nicely composed. I like the or Spitfire shot too. Good timing and composition with the wings level to the cloud colour division. Nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so pleased you like the images and am highly amused by the "dynamic" comment! 🤣 I did a Classic Wings "Wing to Wing" flight with the Lizzie last year and as a result must confess that I have become mildly infatuated with the type!! It is difficult to come up with "different" shots at Duxford (or any other air show venue), but out of the series that I took of the Spitfire, that image stood out to me due to the wings and the cloud division. Thanks again for the kind words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 @Alpha Delta 210 yes it’s funny how contact with a type can foster affection. Pilots can get seduced that way too. Seriously though I think that’s arguably the best Lizzie photo I have seen. Thanks for showing it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No confession required. Simply a convergence of good taste! 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
