Hopefully I can answer a few questions as its been a few years since I've been there last OK so this news throws all sorts of questions to those who have been to a Southport airshow. Seems they sell tickets for the Pier so assume the display line must be further out than that, do the public just sit...

Paul,

If you want to have a look at the 120-40 drop me a pm, more than welcome to have a look at it.

(currently can't take photos with it due to having surgery yesterday on left wrist)

Paul,

How about the Sigma 120-400?

MPB have them ar £329 + £369.

Pre-Cut Masks is what I would reccomend.

Makes spraying etc a lot easier.

Thanks for the comments,

I have amended the first post with the full report from the show.

Hi, After photographing a football game in Prestwich yesterday, I had heard it mentioned that the Arrow's were going to overnight at Liverpool, before displaying at Blackpool today. After a mad dash along the East Lanc's Road I made it with quite a bit of time to spare before they arrived. https://c...

Hi John - Any updates on this or the Wellington ? Hello, Unfortunately not much of an update on both, the Wellington has both Landing Gear completed and is ready for mounting into the wings, plus I'd say a good 50% of it is done now. This one has taken a back seat as the work i'm doing has really r...
