Karl and I did our usual trip to 'Legends' at Duxford last week, driving to the campsite on Saturday, and going to the show on Sunday, where we met up with Sander (Kingscoy) and his wife, Petra, over from Holland, and managed to have a brief word with Gary (Geedee), who was ensconced in the VIP lounge with his P-51 cockpit on display, promoting the forthcoming video 'American Warhorse' (due out in summer 2020).
Although it was warm and dry, there was a moderate crosswind, and, at times, some heavy, dark clouds made photography tricky - out of over 2,300 images taken, around 25% of them are unusable, due to very poor light.
However, there was plenty of action, and a great line-up, with some fine formation and solo flying, providing some good photo opportunities.
These first few pics show a couple of 'practice' shots, using the pleasure flight aircraft as subjects, in order to 'zero in' the cameras, together with a group shot of Petra, Sander, Karl and some old crippled bloke with a grey moustache, and a parade of Spitfires - there was a total of fifteen Spits flying during the day.
back soon with some aerial action ...........................
