| No need to say "sorry".
Im always interested in seeing the planes that fly in the UK as many of them have never flown here in the US/Canada

Country:  | Great pics Chris, awesome shots. The fact the BBMF didn't turn up at Leuchars really annoyed me (it was the main reason I went) although the rest of the show was good. Funnily enough I have almost the exact same picture of the Spitfire SM845 and the P-51 Old Crow. Your pics of them flying though are much better than mine, great shots.

Country:  | Nice work, Chris. I have been looking at the Rebel myself and your results have been excellent, I see.

| Glad i decided to save a bit more and go for the Canon, rather than the cheaper Fuji 3500. Was slightly annoyed when they brought out the 350D though.

| Magnificent photos!
It's also good to see the props turning rather than being frozen by the rapid shutter (or something).
How about being generous to us lazy types and uploading a zip file of them all so we don't have to download them individually (please)?
These are so good they belong on Airliners.net. But keep coming back here as often as you can.
I got a digicam a while back and I am still getting the hang of it. No plane pix yet. | |

| I admit to being interested in the Hunter you use. Stunning paint job but can I ask what the three inlets for below the nose? | |

Country:  | Hi Chris welcome to the site.
I been sort of floating in and out of the site for a while as work is ruling most of my time at the mo but I loved your Photographs super stuff. My old man has got the 35mm Rebel and I was interested in your shots of the airbourne planes did you use auto focus and also how have you found the camera in general (any draw backs or things you dont like about it).
I have not had much success with my ariel shots so far so a change of equipment for that specific purpose may be required. | |

| The ports beneath the Hunter's nose are for the 20 mm cannon.
Seldom fitted these days.
These orifices are what produce the famous Hunter 'Blue Note'.
I also recall some rude name for the bulges where the cannon breeches were. Oh yes, 'Sabrinas'. Named for some popular starlet of the era. | |
