Yeovil static(craig style)

[Craig.]

Well after fully looking through my photos a couple of air shots came out well but most were poor, a few statics came out quite well though. Cant wait to see Dougs, but here are mine for now
The great apache

this guy walked infront of my shot despite seeing me taking it, since this was a busy static i wasnt going to wait for the thing to clear again

This kid was posing for a photo of his own, i was in a rush as it was about to tip it down so he also ended up in mine Very cool biz jet with missiles:)

The "Biz Jet with missiles" is actually a  Dassault Falcon 20F with underwing electronic warfare emitters.

I used to work on quite similar aircraft in 414 (EW) Sqdn of the CAF.

Interesting angles Craig.

You have a digital camera so if someone gets in the way you can easily delete it & take another one. Big air displays are not the ideal place to get decent static shots. You need a lot of patience to get the one you want. The best thing is to get there early & head for the static park before the punters arrive. If you can't get a clear shot make a feature of the people in it. I've found this can give some idea of the atmosphere of the place.

Hi Doug, i couldnt get there any earlier than 11, sadly the trains even at 6am arnt that great
Like I said i wasnt going to stick around for it to clear, i was enjoying listening to my dad and his mate(cheif pilot LOL) talking about it

I've found that generally if I tap someone on the shoulder and ask politely for them to step aside they usually do.  It's a major Faux Pas to interfere with someone's picture and most folks want to help...
