| Don't be worried. Mine wasn't a display day so I could get a lot closer to the machines. The planes were being moved around and you could stand next to the P51, Hurrie and P39.
Also I could choose my own position and change it when I wanted to. There must have been at least 20 people on the entire flight line from the Ground warfare display to the new hanger and you know how long that is.
Yours are really very good. In particular I like the I153. For some reason I haven't taken a decent shot of it yet and have tried a number of times. |

Country:  |  Excellent pictures, track! I hate you now - 'cos my pictures suck when compared. 
Here's some of mine - I took 278 altogether - that's including museum pictures because I'd never been to Duxford before Saturday.

Country:  | Those videos weren't bad, trackend. Holding steady with zoom is never easy, but you did fine. I love the DC-3, so that was a special treat!
Glider and plan_d, you guys got some great shots too! I wish I could have been there. Looks like it was a great show.

Country: | My camera isn't very good - it's only 3.1 mega-pixels with 3x optical zoom - much more for general picture taking than that situation. If I had a decent camera that Spitfire shot would have been awesome. Here's some more...

Country: | It crash landed during the Battle of Britain and was taken by Duxford to keep it in a good condition but to replicate it's original state. It was from JG 26. Here's the original picture when that very same plane went down in Britain...

Country: | Track hope you didn't mind but I sent a copy of the 78th fg jug to ace and vet Dick Hewitt of the same group. He was thrilled. He thinks it is: "No guts, No glory" as he has been at Duxford in the past./
many thanks !!

| No problem Erich I don't like copyrighting my pics. It was "No Guts No Glory" as Dick said. I'm just pleased you found them worth a look at, I think I may have a couple of other shots as well of the Jug Erich when I've had a look I'll stick them on here. If any of you guys want , you can do as you wish with my snaps. Glider, D & co all your pics are great I think if the subject matter is good enough even if you don't get the perfect shot (which is something I seem to do 99.9% of the time) it carrys the image, and if your like the rest of the anoraks on here its the birds we want to see so well done guys I luv all your pics. I cant say the same about my videos though, they truly are junk so I'll have to take some lessons from you Evan, do you do Internet courses?  I think I may have some taxeing stuff that's a bit more viewable.
It was a brilliant show at Duxford Evan and the final fly past with 20+ classic Aircraft was something that had to been seen in the flesh to be appreciated. This was my first visit and I'm going to go for both days next year. Stunning is the only thing I can say. Quote: |
