Spent an enjoyable day in Wales, switching from the middle shelf to the exit at about 2ish....All hawks and tucanos I'm afraid (apart from a King air that went very low from Bala to Barmouth)

Well done Mic, Sorry I couldn't get there today. Money is a little tight, next time though.

I'm incredibly jealous!  :D

I wish the US would allow low flights like that!

It's a shame the Tucano shots are blurred, the second in particular would be a good catch. The distant Hawks are a little bland but the last two shots are well done, good exposure and sharp.

Yeah...it's annoying when the first aircraft through is the most interesting of the day....takes a while to get used to the conditions (messed up a brilliant hawk pass with lots of vapour coming away only with a blurred mess :P)

You could use the faster AF of the 50D... ;-)

Other than that, brilliant shots. Shame it's so far away from me, that spot rocks big time!

As I keep saying you should come over some time....there's a guy from the Netherlands who gets up to the loop a couple of times a year...:D

get an early flight into birmingham and I can pick you up get a late flight home drop off afterwards as well, or a cheap hotel and stay the night. All possible options Kris.

I seem to have a real blind spot for Tuc's Mic, I've only ever managed one really good shot, and even that i had to crop  ;)

The Tuc shot in your other thread is a beauty though, and I like the cannon on the Hawk, I don't think I've got one of those yet.
