So, back into the Cambridge Sauna for a second round of heat - and Duxford, but this time for Flying Legends. At this airshow I had trouble with my camera. It just did not want to play ball and on post show analysis, I've found that a considerable number of my images have come out blurry - dammit. I feel it's time for an upgrade to some better kit. My trusty Nikon D5500 just doesn't have the legs to produce the results I want. Nevertheless, I did my best with what I had.
Stunning Curtiss Hawk 75.

Historic Hurricane; this aircraft was found in Russia and taken to New Zealand, where it was restored by Air New Zealand at its Christchurch maintenance base, but is now living in France. It has historic significance as it was flown by Edgar James 'Cobber' Cain, a New Zealander and the first RAF pilot to become an ace.

The Red Bull flying team was definitely a highlight and I was to see it again on the tour.

Not the most pleasing effort photography-wise, but I had a great day nonetheless.
