No shots of "fat chip bloke" Dave?

Toby, I use a Nikon D70 with a 70-300 lens.

I never understand how people get such detail with only a 300mm :think: I have a 100-300 and at the 300 end planes at airshows are still pretty small. Its not such a problem at Shoreham but at Eastbourne I could use something like the Hubble telescope to get a 'full frame' pic :think:

No Dave. I've looked at all the shots and not one French bloke eating chips standing on a ladder in front of us on any of them!! Pity John wasn't quick enough on the draw to capture the lady to our left but with the lens he had on.. it would have taken two shots! :shock:

I've quickly resized 22 other shots (though many still look the same) and started a new thread so 56k guys can avoid it too

Nice shots btw DG

Its been a great weekend at Duxford. Seeing three Bristol Fighters in the air together was fabulous. Here's a video I took of the Saturday final flypast, or balbo as it's known at Flying Legends. Thirty warbirds in one big formation! Its a fair size ( 28 Mb ), but I think you'll like it.

I just wish I had half the photographers talents that Dave G has. Superb pictures, Dave.
