Excellent shots Terry!

Thanks very much, Andy, Paul and Hugh.
I'm getting the hang of the Nikon and 300mm zoom, but still wish there was more direct control, like there is with the 'old' 35mm SLRs I had.
I'm still trying to decide whether or not to shell out on a 120 - 400mm zoom lens, or even the 500mm, although the latter may be a bit restrictive for some work.

Anyway, continuing with some more flying sequences, with more of the Mustangs, and resident B-17G 'Sally B'.

Fantastic photo's Terry! Love the desert P-40 and the Grumman cats!

 

[evangilder]

great shots Dpgsbody, you do seem to be getting to grips with making that new camera do what you want it too when you want it too !

if you know what i mean ?

 

[Lucky13]

Top shots old boy!! Have a bottle of C- or T-Stoff...!

Wonderful photos Terry. If I ever make it over there I'll have to try to be there for that air show. Getting back to the P-40F, For some reason I can't see Paul's photos, and they would be very helpful because I'm going to be building that one for the Mediterranean GB this fall. I bought the decals and was going to do it for the Nose Art GB but I couldn't find where I had stashed the decals at the time.

Thanks very much indeed chaps, and yes Karl, I know what you mean - I think!
Glenn, I'll copy Paul's pics and e-mail them to you - saves messing about.
More pics to follow later today.

 

[T Bolt]

Thanks Terry

 

[Airframes]

Sent them Glenn.
Now on to some more from 'Legends', starting with a few of resident B-17G 'Sally B', before moving on to the Amicale Jean Baptiste Sallis Hurricane.
I didn't take many of 'Sally B' this time around, as I've got many shots (somewhere!), dating back to when she first arrived in the UK in the late 1970's.

Great shots Terry!

 

[Airframes]

Thanks Hugh.
Now, the 'Red Bull' B-25 Mitchell.
The RB team were scheduled to bring three aircraft from Austria, the B-25, Corsair and P-38, but the weather on the Continent prevented the other two from arriving.
But, to see the Mitchell thrown around like a fighter made up for things - no manipulation of the photos here, those wild angles you see were as flown !
A superb display !!

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice!

 

[Shinpachi]

So cool.

 

[Wayne Little]

great shot's Terry!

 

[Airframes]

Thanks again chaps !

Next is the Gloster Gladiator, this example being from the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden, which provided a very neat solo display, with some fast passes demonstrating its superb handling and a fair turn of speed.
On Saturday, the Duxford-based Gladiator was airborne too, with both aircraft providing a smooth formation display, from what I could see from the camp site.
The Lysander 'spy taxi' will follow next ....

More top shelf sruff Terry.

Question. What is the pod under the left wing of the RB Mitchell? Looks like a weather radar pod perhaps.

Cheers,

Jeff
