RAF Waddington & RIAT 2013

Post by lloydh » Sat Aug 03, 2013 11:04 am

Selection of images from both Waddington and RIAT, found both difficult to shoot, especially Waddington with the light.

Waddington:
Spent the Saturday outside and Sunday in the Breitling tent, gave a good selection of images but after seeing the shots of the Viggen from inside on the Saturday I wish I'd done it the other way around.

1. Excellent display from Jamie Norris in the Typhoon, much better than RIAT IMHO

5. The best fast jet display by a country mile, the Solo Turk. His first pass over us on the dispersals was crazy!

RIAT:
Definitely didn't have a good time at RIAT, stayed until 3:00 on the Saturday and left and did no more than an hour on the Sunday so only a few shots.
The Saturday was spent at Rhymes and Sunday at Totterdown, I don't I'll bother going to Totterdown again too far away for 300mm.

Not sure to be honest, nothing to do with the actual air show though!

Sublime Lloydy boy. I understand where you're coming from regarding RIAT. It just didn't have that tattoo buzz this year. It was more like a standard show which Waddington beat hands down :thumb:

Just the best aerial Red Arrow photo's I have seen in many a year Lloyd. Have not been to a Waddington show for, may a year, because of stuff. Must say you and Forum members like yourself, are just the the Dog,s B.. Stoo.

Hi Lloyd :P

Yup; those Waddington shots are the canines :thumb:

We have been to it every year since its inception in 1995, and, considering the financial constraints, thought this one of the very best :thumbs:

Your pics do it justice, mate :thumbs:

Best regards
