Here's what you don't usually get to see. I've got plenty more like these. ::)
All taken on the same day from the same location within about 30 minutes.

Hmmm, now where did he go? ???

Darn it, missed again. ::)

Don't think I'm cut out for this lark somehow. Maybe I'll call it a day & head for home.  >:( :'(

LOL fair example. Good photos too. But my comments were based on static aircraft mainly or other situations where time wasnt an issue ;)

But thanks for prooving your point ;D

This is about the best I can expect from my little camera. It's a case of being in the right place at the right time & persevering. I almost gave up in disgust to go home in a bad mood. Can you imagine how I felt when my efforts paid off? Just think what Mr. Bones could have done in my place with his latest gear. :o

I'd say that penultimate shot was worth it Doug ;) Of course I'm biased ;D

Hi Doug...!

Photo No.3...
One of my all-time favourites, a Yak 50 taildragger?
The only thing which spoils them is the <38 gallons per hour avgas burn with the throttle nailed to the stop... :o...!
LOL...!
One of the main UK importers, Richard Goode, is located a few miles from me...>>>

If I'd missed that shot I would have thrown my camera on the ground, jumped on it, gone home in a foul mood, put a big hammer through my PC & taken up something sensible like knitting. ::) ;D

Hi Paul. Shame I missed that one. >:( Didn't allow for the shutter delay & follow it through. It's a bad habit of mine. I almost gave up at that point & .............. see the above comment. LOL ;) :D

PS. Richard Goode used to be the British aerobatic champion. I seem to remember he was sick every time he went up.
