Alpha Delta 210 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 What can I say? What an amazing day - gorgeous weather, warbirds, aerobatics and fast jets! Without doubt, an excellent end to my air show season. I hope you enjoy some of my favourite shots from the day (in the inevitably tricky Duxford light!) Patrouille Suisse made an appearance in the morning, which we were told was for familiarisation only, but they treated us to what seemed like their full display! The second appearance of the day! Thanks for looking, these were just a few of the (ahem) 1700 images I took - and I was trying to be disciplined! 28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it well attended? Thanks James Thanks very much, James. I'm pleased you enjoyed them! Yes, it was a sell-out and I understand that some visitors took 2 hours to leave the North Car Park - you would think that the IWM would have done it enough times to get it right!! It was an odd, hybrid event - neither a Flying Day nor an Air Show, which meant that visitor numbers were restricted and there were just a handful of traders and food vendors. Members had to pay (Flying Days are free) and there was no car park charge. Members were permitted to park in the Visitor Centre car park, which was reserved for disabled visitors only at the previous Flying Day. All in all, a fabulous end to the season in beautiful weather! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did hear them to the east of the city on their return to Waddington. I was hoping they might fly over Cambridge like the Koreans did in July. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was monitoring their movements on Fighter Control, but was still taken by surprise when they appeared over the M11 for their "familiarisation"! The leader was using the callsign "Tiger 1". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canberraman Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 What a great finale to your 2022 airshow and visits season! You'll probably need the winter to recover, sort out the thousands of images no doubt taken, and to start planning for 2023. Some superb golden, Autumnal light and sublime topsides. Hard to pick favourites from such an ace selection, but I like the Patrouille shots immensely and the Catalina head on is glorious. Time to hang up the camera bag up for a few months ?

I hope you're keeping well. Thank you for the kind words! I create an annual photo book of my aviation adventures, which I will start creating when I return from my 2-week business trip. My favourite is also the Catalina head-on which I converted to black and white because I was shooting into the sun snd it just looked better! One of my camera bodies developed an intermittent fault yesterday, so at least I have time to resolve it before next spring! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latinbear Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Some terrific shots there and in glorious weather too. The b&w head on of the Catalina is a cracker! I also really like the Wildcat shots which I am fond off even if it sounds like a bag of nails when in the air. Thanks for sharing these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much, Latinbear. I'm really pleased you enjoyed them! I was very happy with the Catalina head-on because that was the shot I hoped to capture before I moved from the American Air Museum end to the M11 end to get a slightly different perspective on the day. I agree about the "bag of nails" in comparison to the silky smoothness of a Merlin!🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
