AnonymousAA72 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Must have missed you Darius! I think I was a bit further back!! It was my Canon 1000D's airshow debut - so had some fun playing around and learning a few things. Managed to take in excess of 300 shots tody - spent most of the evening whittling them down! Here's a selection...... Part 1 An immaculate Wessex HU5 to kick off - in a fetching shade of Devon(?) Red F86 Sabre Apache - trying to achieve prop(sorry..) Rotor Blur Up close to a Foxy Lass And one of The Vipers Strikemasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousAA72 Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 Part Deux XX227 of the Red's in the new (did thy use this last year?) scheme XX260 was no doubt the Reserve - something I don't think I've ever seen before - one smoke pod short of a full set if you ask me! Another of the Vipers Strikemasters Wokka coming in... XX245 Tails it is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kstater94 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Great shots there Bill! To answer your question, the Reds have had that scheme for a couple of years now. There was much debate as to which scheme was prefered amongst the enthusiasts. I personally liked the previous scheme although it was argued that the current scheme harkens back more to the scheme that the Gnats wore so it made the purists happy. As for the XX260 sans smoke pod, that is interesting indeed! Wonder if there wasn't something wrong with the pod and they decided to pull it since the aircraft was good... Thanks for sharing Cheers!

AnonymousAA72 Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) Thanks all!! Had some good results from the camera with the "fast jets"....some not so great with the ones with twirly bits on the front - but its all a learning curve ain't it? I was a bit further back than you Darius, but I can see the advantage of getting in nice and close!!! Heres a few more......
