Flying Penguin Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) Here are a few photos from the flying display at Fairford on Saturday. It was my first visit to RIAT, and having queued stupidly early to get a good spot, I have to say I'd do it again! Weather came through in the end (after raining for a bit in the morning).

geedubelyer Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Hi Jamie, great shots mate. I particularly like the shot of the Reds in formation in the first batch of pics. Real picture postcard stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
model_madness Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Excellent shots there Jamie! BTW what camera and lenses you use? ( not that i know squat about SLR's ) Link to post Share on other sites
Flying Penguin Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 MM, I use a Nikon D50 with a (sub £100 new off ebay) Nikkor 70-300G lens. Even then I was struggling on individual aircraft displays. Last few, the Thunderbirds, apologies for the variable quality, the whole display was under low cloud so the light wasn't great: Anyway, that's all folks!

Jamie Heh. . in that photo I'm stood about 25 yards back from your position, more or less in the same spot as that chap talking to the little girl down the slope!
