A Canon Digital Rebel with a Canon EF100-400 L IS lens. Like I said many times before, it's not the camera but the lens that makes the photos!!!  ;)

Which Spits are those anyway? They look like PR variants & the RAF chappies are usually a tad fussy who they fly with.

The one on the right of the shot Doug is PL965, the only Mk.XI flying in the world (the odd shaped nose and 4 bladed prop. give it away). Nice plane and I can tell you loads about her! In fact her whole history and I have some v.rare photos :o
The other two are XIXs, one of them is bound to be the BBMF one, the other I'm guessing is the Rolls Royce one, best off asking Roger about Griffon engined variants ;)

I thought it must be PL965. Used to be the pink Spit. Now owned by Peter Teichman but I bet he wasn't flying it. The BBMF has two Mk XIX. PM631 & PS915. http://www.raf.mod.uk/bbmf/fighters.html

Those are amazing... love the last- great mix of drab and shiny, prop and jet. Wow.
Gotta love Canon's optics... can't wait 'till I can afford a nice Canon digital.

Nice glass! I'm planning on picking that lens up sometime in the near future.  My EF75-300 USM is okay, but doesn't quite cut sometimes.

Shots are bootiful as well... I love the last 3.
