Egyptian CASA 295 @ Birmingham

[Radleigh]

6am start on Sunday to catch this beauty. Rumoured to depart at 0900L, but eventually went at 13:20ish. I took a chance and went to the Long Stay with the hope that he would go long, and he did! Sun was on top of us by this point, but not to bad for photos.










Thanks for looking

No idea why it was here, sorry! But thanks for the replies

gutted it went to BHX and not BZZ, why you may think, they only called BZZ Ops asking for a flightplan

great pics btw

Lovely photos, you was very brave using such a slow shutter speed (looking at the prop blur)
Well done.
Regards Dave.

1/125th, I was shooting Manual with Auto ISO, so at the last minute I moved the dial as I was shooting at 1/640th (I think - higher than usual anyway because the subject) and wanted some motion. Thank you
