Hi, Coming from a D500 with the Nikon 200-500, I have the Z8 with the z 180-600. I did for a short period use the adaptor and pair the Z8 with the 200-500 and it worked ok but it makes it longer and my 200-500 had a hard life so needed changing anyway. The main reason for changing to the 180-600 is ...

Low level Dutch chinook passes down the river.

Thanks. Very unexpected at that speed.

Two Dutch Apaches during a training exercise in the UK. I thought this was just going to be a low level fly by the two aircraft but then the first aircraft dropped into the river valley but the second one definitely surprised me. I thought it had gone the other way when I wasn't looking. 🤣 https://y...

Added two more photos just as I like the angles. Thanks everyone for looking.

There's a number of YouTube videos of the flight as well.

Cracking set.

I have a YouTube video as well, I’ve put it up in the video section. Not sure I’m allowed to post a link in this part. My channel name is The Cumbrian Moo Tuber.

Well caught Richard. What was your actual "20", (location); somewhere in the North Lakes, guessing the wind-farm is Robin Riggs in the Solway.

Hi,

I was on honister pass.

Thank you all for the kind comments. Always interesting to get another person's perspective on which angle looks the best!

Whilst hoping for a slow, low level pass from the Dutch I didnt expect quite the passes I got from these two from 301 squadron. Superb flying and what a noise!

Top class images Richard.

Thanks for the kind words.

Well this years Tac blaze at Spade has been blessed with some great weather. Ive spent far to many hours and with over 4000 photos to trawl through, picking the ones I like the best has taken some doing. Its always hard to know if the close ups or the wide angles look better but being a rivit counte...

Nice set, fantastic shots.
