Hi Wiebe.
Thanks, I nearly called the shot spot Merlin ;D but didn't think it was quite well enough hidden!
Cheers, Graham.

Nice set of the helo Graham,
+1 (+2?) on the panning, lucky for us you did such a good job otherwise its camo colour would have hidden it against the background!
I keep being amazed by the size combined with speed and agility these machines have reached over the years

Hi Kieth.
Nice shots, let's hope it's not needed in its final role.
Cheers, Graham.

Hi Erik.
Nice series (both of them).
Really like the 4th shot in the second set, that exhaust haze is incredible, well caught. Interesting landing gear!

Hi Chasinglight.
Some very nice shots, excellent panning in the first shot, and I really like the fireworks over FIFI. Some cool shots of the blue angels too, liking the one with wheels top and bottom!

Hi Folks.
WWI planes Part 2.
Ok, you all spotted the helicopter, can anyone see the highly camouflaged triplane?

All the planes (I think) in one shot, shame they were so spread out.

Hi Folks.
Some of the Breitling Wing Walkers, this year we only had one plane, there were two last year which made for a more interesting display.

Hi Erik.
I remembered to try the different modes on my 100-400II, I did not encounter the IS issue that you describe when panning the Red Arrows as they flew over, and at one point I was pointing almost straight up as they passed over, probably the closest we get to see them is at this point I'd guess they were close to their display hard floor height.
I didn't experience it at Goodwood either when panning race cars at close range which was probably resulting in faster yaw rates than the Red Arrows.
I think it might be that you have an issue, if you were close by I'd let you borrow my lens (with me present, after all I don't really know you!) to see if you could replicate the issue to confirm if it is your lens or all of them.
Cheers, Graham.

@Valvebounce - Very nice series Graham! Lots of tri-planes in your aerial display... No Sopwith Pup or Camel present?
@KeithBreazeal - Nice shot of the C130J using its hydro-jets Did he need to apply reverse thrust on the props to avoid speeding? ;D

Hi Kieth.
Very nice shot, good to see ongoing investment to combat the wild fires. I hope it is not needed too often if at all.
Cheers, Graham.

Hi Wiebe.
Thank you.
Sorry I have no idea what the planes are, not an era that I am particularly familiar with, far more in to the WWII aircraft, you might have a look at my Flickr album if you didn't already as there are some more shots of the WWI display team there.
Cheers, Graham.
