Well, you'll already have seen some shots from Cosford, so you'll know what the weather was like for most of the show. As we drove up there was a 600' cloud base, and 2km visibility. This improved during the day, and we actually got some sunburn in the afternoon allowing a full display by Peter Teichmann's P-40 and the 2Excel Extra 300's. For the most part however it was low cloud, and hazy......oh well

Not bad at all.

I'd have been particularly pleased with doing that well on the Hawk in those conditions!

Thanks chaps.
If I was a hacker though, then this would be an example of a brute force attack. I simply kept taking shots and hoped for the best ;D
There was a little application of science following some very useful tips from others, but essentially I used the continuous shooting mode and a large memory card to see what I could capture ::)

I agree with the others. I would have been very pleased with these.

Excellent shots!!
The only good thing about bad weather is that you get some great vapor shots!! 8-)
Great job!!

Hi Mark, I got the 400d in the end, but just went for the kit lens and the 90-300 EF. The bank balance wouldn't stretch any further
