'Twas quite sad really, the poor thing's gennies were running as it as it was dragged off to the killing house, so it kind of sounded as if it was crying! Almost like watching lambs to the slaughter!

You must have a great panning technique! Those C-130 shots read off at a 1/60th of a second shutter speed! Love the tire smoke as well, nice set!

Like I said in the other post she should be joining Classic Air Force alongside the VC-10 and not being scrapped, quite sad really..........

Despite doubts during the week glad to see you made it to Newquay and took such a great set of snaps. I also like the action of the tyre smoke.

Thanks kyle. Still trying to get use to the world of DSLR. !!
All my kit (Pentax K10, with an old 70-300mm manual lens!) Is rather dated but was cheap. And yesterday was a good time to have a play with it in manual mode.
Pleased with the results to, even if there not as good as the images you get with up to date kit. ;)
One thing I have noticed mind, my senor good do with a clean! :whistle:
