My usual set up is a Nikon D7500 with a Sigma 150-600 C zoom. However, from time to time I find this doesn't have quite enough reach. I've seen the Sigma TC 1401 1.4x teleconvertor for this lens and was wondering what if any are folks experiences of such a set up.

I can remember Raymond Baxter presenting from Farnborough for many years

I can confirm the two Chinooks flying were ZA677 and ZH893 from photos. Anyone know the serial of the third (presumably a standby frame) that was parked adjacent to where the flying two were operating from?

I've often thought that a compliment of 4/5 C.295 could supplement the A.400's well, certainly for the smaller/ short distances tasks. Then again I don't know how good they are for rough field use.

Great set

If there are to be six Apaches here over the weekend, as per the RAF Benson facebook post, perhaps another two will arrive tomorrow?...
