I took so many shots this weekend it's not possible to post them all. Here's a few more.

Ozzy asked for plenty of Spitfires. I took plenty. These aren't the best quality shots but they look nice.

The best one I got of the BBMF Spit all weekend.

I did better with the Lanc. Like the Spitfire she looks great from any angle.

Taken on full zoom at long range. She caught the sunlight just right.

Ferocious Frankie. One of my better shots.

The beautiful Sally B.

I really like this one so I left it without cropping

The B-17 was and still is my favorite WWII bomber.

Just out of curiosity, do you travel to all these air shows? Because I RARELY see airshows offered in my area. Just seems close to every weekend you find another one and I am damned jealous lol

Hi Stephen. Thanks for your comments. To the best of my knowledge Sally B is the only airworthy B-17 in the UK. Like the BBMF Lancaster it's very rare & precious bird.

Unless the weather is bad I try to visit an air display every weekend during the season. This show is right on my doorstep. Others might mean a couple of hours travelling. I don't like driving much these days so 3 hours would be my limit unless it's something very special. There's usually several to choose from. Check this out. http://www.aeroflight.co.uk/shows/showdate.htm

I know others are not as fortunate so why not share my good luck with with everyone by posting a few shots. ;)

WOW> No wonder you have so many shots! I love them all man. Keep them coming. Since they dont have so many shows in this area this is my way of enjoying them, though I would love to hear a P-51 buzz by :D
