Yeah, I'll be up for that. Will bring a bigger memory card though, or just take less pics than last time! Had to delete so many at Eastbourne!
Where to meet and what time?
Re: HEXUS.social - Shoreham airshow Saturday 30th August
What a lovely line up!
It's a real shame I can't make it, as a former instructor of mine will be performing I believe in a tub (Tiger Club Turbulent team)
Re: HEXUS.social - Shoreham airshow Saturday 30th August
I have new toys to point at the flying machines - Nikon D3300 and Tamron SP AF 70-300 F/4-5.6 Di VC USD. I think Tamron were actively trying to get as many letters into that name as possible!
Hopefully I'll get some pics I'm happy with unlike at Eastbourne, but I have a strong suspicion the problems don't lie with the equipment...

I'm looking to get there for around 9:30. That allows me enough time for traffic or, if it's an easy run, time to have a look at some of the stalls etc before the planes.
As for where to meet, I have no idea what will be there other than the entrance! I've still got your mobile number from Eastbourne so I can give you a ring when I get there.

Hey Bagnaj, sorry I missed your call on Saturday, I left my phone at the office and have just seen it.
I couldn't make it to this show, I was feeling a bit unwell over the weekend, so sat at home playing Elite Dangerous. Was it a good show? Get some decent pics?

Awesome pics there, thanks! Shame I missed it, maybe next year when I'll be living in Brighton!

In a moment of complete "my badness" - I completely forgot to thank Cat for organising this get -together - and as he did organise it - he gets the coveted "green label" award.
Hmmm, not seen a green moose before.. :)

Many thanks!
Its actually the height of Moose fashion to get pond weed dangling from their antlers - is that close enough?? :p
Re: HEXUS.social - Shoreham airshow Saturday 30th August
No way! Can't believe I missed this.. Often go to the Eastbourne airshow and with my father living not far from Shoreham (he lives in Rustington) it'd have been easy to get to. Can't wait for the pictures :)

I knew I forgot to do something...LOL!

I used to quite enjoy going to these when I was young
