The Sabre is still the best looking classic jet out there. Nice work!

Love those rolling shots  ;)

Doug, I'm waiting on the Women shots.....Mic's far too businesslike to get the shots we all really want to see  ;D

Let's see what you got at the beer tent this year  ;)

Sorry, no Spitfire Girl shots this year. That was a lucky accident. I won't make the mistake of trying to recreate it.

I like to think I'm as businesslike as Mic but he's a better photographer. I also tend to chat too much. :P
It was a good show but lighting conditions at Biggin this year were horrible. Good job Mic was there.

Have to agree with you there Doug.....I didn't get above 1/320 shutter speed for the whole display and had to throw a lot of pics out.....especially the fast jet stuff which requires something a little faster normally. Thank god for IS  ;D :P

Decided to go on the Sunday rather than the Saturday after all - my train got stuck at Woking, meaning that (with the horrible traffic) I didn't get in until 12 and didn't have my camera ready for the Mirage 2000.

hehe.....I warned you about the airshow bus ;)

We got a tram to New Addington, then a 464 to the bottom of Salt Box Hill.....a quick 5 minutes up the hill and you're there....we even managed to catch a bus back from the bottom of the hill....no traffic at all ;)

Best of all it was all free on our London Travlecards.....;D

Anyway...glad you got there on Sunday....looks a little sunnier from what I've seen :)

Yeah, was going to go for the tram-bus option but decided that I couldn't be bothered with getting boiling hot! Ended up walking a lot of the way anyway though.  ;D
