OK, so a slow start after the frustration of trying to sort the pics and get them into some sort of order, but her we go.
First off, a little bit of info about the venue. Old Buckenham in Norfolk, UK, was the airfield used by the B-24's of the 453rd Bomb Group, 8th USAAF, and was where the actor James Stewart was based during WW2. Today, part of the main runway and some of the original hardstanding areas are used by the local Aero Club and private owners, with the remainder of the field being grass. Not much of the wartime structures remain, but there is a small museum in an original Nissen hut. The field is only a 20 minute drive from where my caravan is based, and this was our first visit to what turned out to be a very well organised display, both in the air, and on the ground, with excellent traffic management, no hold ups, and extremely helpful and friendly ground staff, including the Air Cadets from 1986 Sqn, ATC. The organisers even laid on yellow London cabs to transport disabled visitors (and their wheel chairs / mobility scooters ) from the disabled parking area to the entrance gate, and although a relatively small field, the atmosphere, ground attractions and stalls, along with the flying displays themselves, were every bit as good as larger venues such as Duxford - and ticket prices were a lot less also !
Definitely a worthwhile air show, similar in its relaxed, "garden party" atmosphere to the Oostwold, Holland show we attended with Marcel back in 2017and now firmly on the list for the coming years.
I've already posted a few "taster" shots in my "Travels of Tel's Tin Tent" thread and, as mentioned there, I was having some focusing and shutter release problems with my main camera with the 300mm zoom lens, resulting in some "missed" shots, and a few not quite in focus. This turned out to be a problem with the remote trigger on the pistol grip, a problem which was not identified until almost half way through the show, when I then had to resort to the somewhat awkward use of the "normal" shutter button, whilst holding the camera and stock by the forward pistol grip, hence the relatively poor quality of some of the shots to follow in the coming posts.
Anyway, on with the first sets of pics, and as Karl mentioned, the RAF Falcons Parachute Display Team opened the show, jumping at fairly low level from a Dornier, and putting on a great display, landing in an almost perfect line abreast on the target area, with the "flag carrier" brining up the rear, in a pretty stiff wind. Due to the aforementioned problems, I missed the exit shots, nicely covered by Karl, and only took a few of the formation and landing, a couple of which are shown here.
The B-17 "Sally B" was on next, but as mentioned, my pics have inexplicitly loaded way out of sequence, so the next few shots show the Eurofighter Typhoon II, in this year's display colours, against a rather dull sky at the time. This did its first pass at 700 knots, before continuing with rolls, loops, stall turns etc and, although quite impressive, I thought it lacked the impact of earlier RAF fast jet types such as the Lightning, Phantom and Jaguar, although it seemed to ne the main attraction, as quite a number of people started to leave after its display !
Anyway, enough of the blabber from me, and on with the first sets of pics.
