Re: Biggin Hill Airshow (27th-28th June)

Re: Biggin Hill Airshow (27th-28th June)
Great shots, those red bulls, look ridiculously close, nice to see a Vulcan in the air too. Not been to an airshow since I was a kid. Will have to catch another sometime.

Didnt get a chance to do post processing yesterday, quiet happy with the out of camera results, but need to sort sharpening out. I am trying to get a proper digiital workflow sorted using NX2, and one suggestion is to turn off in camera sharpening as it helps to speed up post processing load times. And as I just rebuilt my rig half the software I use isnt installed yet.

Nice pics!
I heard the Red Arrows long before I saw them. Were they flying in formation with other aircraft? They were in a twin V formation as they flew over my house but I couldn't quite make out how many there were.

The eurofighter was very, very loud, think he managed to out dB the vulcan. Really good displays all round, apparently they were full to capacity on the Sunday and had to shut the gates.

Don't forget the Vulcan didn't go above 69% thrust :)
They said that they rate the engines at 12'000 revolutions. So that's 12'000 times to thrust and back - then they have to replace the whole engine
Re: Biggin Hill Airshow (27th-28th June)
Just been told the Vulcan didnt make it on the Sunday, how lucky were we.
Re: Biggin Hill Airshow (27th-28th June)
Was working Saturday and Sunday - but based in TW we saw the arrows come over very low - think that was 3 - 3.30 ish. Would have loved to see the Vulcan :bowdown:

The Eurofighter set off all the car alarms on each pass at Duxford last month :D
I'm off to Fairford next month, main event on Sunday, but Park and View on Thursday as well; can't wait to see the B52 :D
