Hi Folks.
The last few of mine from the Bournemouth Air Festival. Not a patch on some of the recent posts, but hopefully some angles you haven't seen, I enjoyed taking them and sharing them, hopefully some of you have enjoyed looking at them.

Hey Keith, now I'm going to have to rename my post a while back 'Not so stacked' :'( ;D

Guys your all out doing each other, incredible photography really makes want to get out and shoot.

Speaking of which (apologies if this is the wrong thread but I'm assuming those that might know would frequent here) I'm going to the Scottish Air Show for the first time and I was wondering if anyone would know what the flight lines into the display box are? Are they parallel to the shore or do they come in from the sea and turn into the box?

Regards

Hi Zim.
No experience of the Scottish Airshow, but my recollection (and I'll confess I wasn't really studying) of the approach to Bournemouth is, it varies, probably to suit displays, I think most came in along the coast, but some approached from the sea and turned. So it may not be as cut and dried as you are hoping.
Hope this helps.

Cheers, Graham.

Hi Simon.
It is quite a heavy crop, smaller than I usually like, but that was where the pilot chose do it and I had not seen so much vapour during that manoeuvre on the previous day's.
It was rather good, they gave us the anniversary livery Friday and Saturday and the Camo Special on the Sunday, do you think someone plans this!

Hi lw.
Very nice shot, and at f2.8, now I'm sure I have a problem with my 7D, as I use that lens and I'd be lucky to have any of that in focus at 2.8 let alone all of it!

Cheers, Graham.

Thanks Graham! It is very big but also agile!

Great shots you've put up too. That Typhoon shot is great and so are the Vulcan shots

Keith's shots are spot on with timing and angles as always and Simon's are always a pleasure to look at SQI-x timing is perfect and I like the angle of lw's chinook shot Phew...apologies if I've missed anyone

I can't really answer your question but I've just noticed a guy I follow on Flickr has just posted photos from RAF Lossiemouth. He may be able to give you an answer there - https://www.flickr.com/photos/isomax
