Thank you Lee. I´ll be there on Friday and Saturday. Thanks for the weather prevision. We will meet up there. Got your phone number.

Wish I could make it too. I'm starting to think I will next year so hopefully you guys will want to do a sequel.

Met Lee (Trackend) and Gary (Gdee) at Duxford. Got a rare chance to speak to WW2 vet Jimmy Brooks from 31st FG. What a meeting! Will post some pictures yet.
Also spoke to Ed Shipley, the Horsemen pilot flying 'February' during the airshow but didn´t get the chance to sit down into the cockpit of 'February'. Ed agreed but the airfield staff didn´t allow us to go to the machine. 'February' was so close but so far at once...****ing rules...

Great stuff, Lee! I've been also mulling the 7000. Looks like you are putting it to good use!

Excellent pics Lee. Thanks for posting....

Is it just me or do you guys hate the Red Bull stuff on the planes too? I think it really takes away from the visual of the plane.

Definitely brings down the look of the overall thing... but I guess in some cases it's choosing between seeing a (classic) flying banner or none at all

Excellent pics Lee! I´m sorry we met each other only on Friday. We wanted to find you on Saturday too but we spent all the day by searching for the pilot of 'February' and WW2 vet Jimmy Brooks. We met Jimmy which was amazing but failed to climb into the cockpit of Febraury as the airport staff didn´t allow us to go to the machine even though it was agreed by the pilot of February...
Btw, do you have any shots of February on the ground or during the flight?

Not a problem Roman its a big show and with time limited it is always a job to do everything
Thanks for the compliments fellas, I must say Eric the D7000 has been a big step up for me from my old D200 the metering is twice as good and the 3d focus lock is great once on it just chases the image around the frame but I have to say if people want a lot of speed although it pumps out reasonable 6FPS the DK7 buffer runs out of puff at 11 shots, but for me its plenty. Battery life is fantasic, 900 raw 16.9 mb shots 10 minutes HD video and still had 68% body battery left.
Over the whole weekend I took 1800+ shots some video. I have fitted it with twin 32gb class 10 sd cards and a really good Nikon copy power grip I found on ebay for $59 I didnt come close to using all the memory or power.
