These are some of my photos taken at the Saturday airshow of the Duxford Battle of Britain weekend. They were taken from Duxford village, some in the Brewery field Park and the remainder from the Community Centre football field. The heat haze was a bit of a sod but better than rain!

an appropriate one to start with:

I have no idea what the significance of these was in a Battle of Britain airshow

and a black & white experiment (I like to try monotones, sometimes it works well) I may try one of the older types in sepia as well when I have time, that can be atmospheric

Superb set Andy. By coincidence I've just done one of the DH9 in sepia if you 'd like a decko.

Thanks for posting. Much appreciated.

The display Typhoon topside shot is an ace and I do like the first F-35 too. A very nice airshow record especially from outside. Great stuff.

That must be the first time the SAAB B17 has been over here in close to 20 years. Great pictures, thank you.
