Duxford Bimble No 46 - 24Oct09

Post by Pen Pusher » Sun Oct 25, 2009 4:35 pm

First post air show season visit on Saturday and all was quiet. Could of had something to do with the rain and wind keeping the public away, but it was warm with it. The numbers picked up in the afternoon though. Instead of my usual hand held camera walk around, I used a tripod with the flash turned off, ISO set at 100 and Aperture Priority for shutter speed and remote shutter release. Lens used - 11-18mm & 18-200mm.

The only major change is the ‘einkel in ‘angar 5 has been moved from the paint spray bay to the restoration area.

Hi the mig 21 Fishbed (third shot) was what I hit my head on the wing whilst running in the old hangar one during work experience 2003. I had a hard hat on and its put a minor dent in the underside of the wing you do have to look quite hard to find it but it is there. nice pictures btw

Cheers Ollie
