Lovely set, the Spitfire is really some looker. Particularly like the clipped wing.

Been to this the last five years - had to work this year due to a shutdown at work :grr: :grr: .
Absolutely gutted Craig after seeing these shots - reckon these are some of your best you've posted and the colours are stunning :clap: :clap: .

Never mind there's always next year :whistle:

Cheers Paul.

Nice shots once again buddy. I particularly like the first shot and 'The Last' spitfire shot. Shame those big lighting towers spoil the background at CBY. Glad you all had a great day ;)

Kev.

Hi Kev, all of these shots were taken with my Canon 7D using a 300mm L IS USM F4 lens. I shot in TV and set the shutter speed at 1/250th also I shot some at 1/350th. The ISO was 200. Before some one says anything, :P it was very windy that day and a lot of my shots were ruined due to the shots being blurred. Hope that helps.
Regards

Craig
