Here's some impressions of my unexpected visit to Duxford today. The weather was glorious but I only managed a few decent shots. Once again, the ones I really want seem to elude me.

I finally got a good one of the Nimrod.


The next 3 are uncropped to prove I can get it right occasionally.
Seems I timed this one about right. I'm surprised it came out as I intended.


B-25 taking off. It's a long time since I've seen one.


Sally B landing. This bird is so photogenic.


No, the image is not upside down.


I'm hoping Tempest can do better tomorrow - if he goes of course. Me, I'm off to Old Warden where I fully intended to spend today. Got the dates mixed up. Silly old fool. LOL

Nice work Doug,......I love the F7-F8 shot........the sunlit underbellies tell the tale of flying inverted..........

very nice Hagar! you are so lucky to live close to Duxford. maybe i'm going to visit Duxford with a Cessna later this year.  ;)

great shots Doug. I love the sound that the Nimrod produces, certainly isnt neighbour friendly:)

shot number 2 was great timing on your part

That second shot is FANTASTIC. Amazing timing Doug, you should be submitting these to airliners, they deserve a wider audience!!!
Have fun with the Shuttleworth Collection

I woke up this morning with a splitting headache, so that's that. No Duxford for me And worse, it's perfect weather. No cloud, no wind, hot and sunny. Hope you enjoyed your unplanned visit Hagar old chap and thanks for posting some great shots. Pete Kinsey and Steven Grey do a first class display in those two big cats.

Great Shots Doug
You seem to be having an active summer visiting all the airfields that you do...that is Great!

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Awesome shots Hagar, I really like the one with the B-17 landing, those are one of my favorite planes.  I wish I got to see them more often.

fantastic shots there hagar..a great day was had by all apart from being roasted like a turkey..here a few of my favs from the show..
i could of been standing right next to you hagar who knows...

Thanks Lemoncat. I was the silly old fool in the Aviall baseball cap getting in everyone's way.

PS. Your shots are good too. I also took some static shots with my old camera.
(I don't know how to say this but by posting them you've taken this thread way over the limit.)

ahh,,,yes your right hagar....sorry about that mods

I see you removed them. That's a shame. Why not post them in a separate thread. They came out better than most of mine. It was one of those days. LOL
