Excellent set, first and last frames are very good.

Thanks. Most tri-jets look great. This one had a first flight in July 1983 and was one of the last ones ever built. The second jet operated by them (which will also be based at Southend soon) was *the* final one off the production line.

In the air they were all at 1/250th, my panning isn’t what it used to be. The ground shot of the Lancaster was 1/160th but the props turn so slowly on low power settings, I probably needed to go much slower but I don’t trust myself not to screw it up. I don’t get to see the Lanc on the ground...

The RAF Red Arrows, BBMF and Typhoon all landed at Southend Airport last week for the airshows at Eastbourne, Shuttleworth and Folkestone. Here's a few images from the weekend: 1) BBMF Lancaster on Saturday evening 2) Red Arrows arriving at sunset 3) Typhoon heading out to Eastbourne on...

Not my usual subject matter but I've been asked to photograph a few cars for friends and family recently so here's a selection. Some were for sale auctions, some for fun and one is just a grab in a car park.

Thanks for the comments. Yeah, I prefer the cargo stuff tbh, they tend to be older and more interesting aircraft types and they come in during the evening when the sunlight is at its best. These are all from spotting locations outside the wire. Anything pointing to the right is landing on...

We've done warbirds and military, here's a few of the civvy flights photographed this year so far. All taken on the EOS 50D and 70-300 L IS at London Stansted. 1) Silkway 747F 2) FedEx MD-11F 3) Ryanair 737 Max-8 4) Lauda A320 departing 5) FedEx 767 6) CargoLux 744F in retro livery...

Thank you. Assuming you mean kit, my lens is a Canon 70-300 L mounted to an EOS 50D from the ark.

Very enjoyable set of photographs. Could have done with a bit more of that sunshine on the Sunday.

Oh that's interesting, where'd you see it as I don't have Facebook!? Probably someone else's from a similar position? Here's a few more from the year: 9) F-35A on approach to RAF Lakenheath 10) B-52H lining up to take off at RIAT 11) MC-130J circuit training at RAF Mildenhall 12) 'Crazy...

Thanks for all the comments. I suppose that depends on what you want from it and how far you'd be having to travel. It has become a bit of a tourist hotspot since covid, so there's usually an awful lot of people milling around the fence these days. Lakenheath only fly Mon-Fri, unless there's...

Following on from the warbirds, a selection of military shots from the year to date: 1) USAF F-35s arrive back to base at Lakenheath 2) F-15E with dummy munitions breaking into the circuit 3) Indian Air Force IL-78 tanker lining up to depart RAF Mildenhall 4) Typhoons for Trooping the...

Thanks for all the kind comments, much appreciated.

Ah, it was the file size, thank you. They should all be showing now I hope.

Small selection from the year so far. I think I'm getting better at processing RAW images now but feedback is always welcomed. All taken on an ancient EOS 50D with the 70-300 L. 1) P-51D Mustang warming up at North Weald 2) P-47D Thunderbolt taxiing out to depart IWM Duxford 3) Spitfire T.9...
