Great shots as usual, just out of interest what camera/lens do you use?

Well, maybe we'll see the BBMF operating a XVI in the not too distant future... :)


Is there one nearing completion or is someone selling?

Have you heard anything about Kennet's Seafire?

Ta fellas :)

what camera/lens do you use?

These were taken with a Canon EOS10d with a 80-200f2.8L with 1.5x Converter attached. :)

Now why dont Denmark got such awesome airshow??

Believe it or not it wasn't strictly an airshow, just a families day, hence why I was outside the fence.

A recent interview in one of the "rags" suggested that one of the two former RAF Exhibition Flt Mk XVI which went to the BBMF as "spares recovery projects" may become airworthy...

As for the Seafire, it flew a week or two back at North Weald... :)

those are some gorgeous shots!   My favorite is of the two spits.
The day is always better when you're flying upside down.
