Vulcans last flight over Bruntingthorpe

Great pictures NG!

It's good to hear Guy's up and around again after his accident.

 

Andy Rouse is a fabulous pro Very well respected, and quite rightly so

I think I just made a little rhyme

 

What is with the blue cast on some of the other shots??
Not to my taste (different photographer).

 

That was my first thought too. I always shoot in RAW so that any white balance issues can easily be sorted afterwards.
@Kandy , those blades are quite noisy in formation aren't they. A cross between a hum and a buzz from a distance. Always remind me of a war film

 

Another great display today by The Blades, but the camera was at the lock-up across town .
@Kandy , we obviously live quite close to each other. If you ever want to meet one day at the airfield (with Mr.Kandy ...naturally ), then let me know. It would be nice to meet you

 

You mite find it's the haze in the atmosphere, we have it around here at the moment

 

That's a fair comment @Jiffy . Yeah, you generally get a certain amount, but that looks excessive. If you look at the home page for The Blades, you can see it there too, but it looks a bit more natural.

Yes it's been bad from about a month, some days Miss Jiffy says, ......... hell some one got a bonfire and runs out for the washing but it's the haze

Also there's alot of VW's and Audi around here

 

Very good @Jiffy
I use this filter, and make some tweaks to the white balance. I might be going up with one of the pilots soon, so I will be taking this lens and filter with me
Or.......I may just leave the camera at the lock-up and enjoy the ride

 

The Vulcan's September flight with the Red Arrows at Southport Airshow will feature in http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06my6vr next Sunday at 21:00

 

Just getting tea tonight and a very noisy jet screamed above the house, banked towards Liverpool airport. We get a couple of jets a month but military helicopters every week, am I allowed to say this in public oops
