Bennygman Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I've been looking for a reason to edit this walkaround... now I have one; these next few were from the display at Cosford. I've posted them partly because they show a few angles difficult to photograph in the static and partly as a tribute to the guys who throw this huge beast around the sky so dramatically Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skii Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Ooh look at that stressed skin - definately one for the records. Lovely photography - whats your shutter setting? the prop blur is spot on ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmojen Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Woah, there's some pretty scary looking skin ripples on that little beauty! I wonder how much of that is caused by the throwing around! I notice in the flying pics that the stbd rear fuselage is covered in oil too......... Jen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 First time I saw it I was thinking "Yeah yeah, boring chopper, just sailing about in the air", but by the end of the display I was grinning like a tit Same with the Herc display too... very inventive.

Bennygman Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 Glad you approve . I first saw the display at Waddo a few years back. It's impressive all right, I especially like the bit where it comes barelling down the runway and then he throws it into 'hand brake turn' right at crowd center - great sight and sound at that point. It does scare me a bit too. I'm sure it's rigorously planned and certified, but you can't help thinking 'is it really designed for that?' at times. Skii: The shutter speeds were 1/200 apart from the last one where it's 'going vertical' at 1/250. Andy: Like the head on shot, how did I miss that one? looks like you pics were later in the day after the mist had cleared Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
