A busy old year for me - Next year looks even better...

The year started with a photoshoot at hangar 2 at Duxford :)

End of April bagged me this as Alan Wade retrieves his headset from the H75.

A new arrival in the hangar proved to be photogenic:

Also a timelapse of the assembly: http://www.harrymeasures.co.uk/#!timelapse/cu5a

Flying Legends itself was great fun, more time spent photographing the people on the ground than in the air:

Got a peek in the Red Bull B25 too after they arrived:

I spent most of the season chasing a flaming start but I preferred the smoke from a failed start being blown over the cowling in this image of the P-40F

OK, I'll chuck a flying shot in!

Also got a chance to sit in the back of the mustang during an engine run. I stood up on the seat looking over the engineer for this shot (was windy!)

Caught Rob Davies in Marinell twice this season, at Sywell and Little Gransden. Photographed here at the latter:

Also at Gransden was Tiechan in his Hurricane:

TFC departed for Shoreham at the end of August and I got this shot of the Bearcat out on the line:

And this on the return in some lovely evening light:

The next show I attended at Shuttleworth saw the Comet return to the air for the first time in many years. A fantastic moment for everyone there!

Fred giving the Bearcat a drink after its display at the Duxford Airshow:

The last show of the season literally saved the best until last, superb light and flying. Need I say more!

That's it folks! Have a good 2015 :)

Thanks. I do admit I am quite privileged with the access I get to these lovely warbirds but it's not all fun and blue skies! Hopefully more of the latter next year though :)
