As some will know I was part of a team commissioned to put a stills and video package together for Textron during their work with the Royal Navy after Paris air show and before RIAT. The images are property of Textron but as I retain the copyright I'm able to post for my own portfolio luckily.
The camera ship used was a Bonanza and the pilot, an ex harrier jock was absolutely fantastic. Hope they are of some interest.

Thanks for looking, C+C welcome.
 
You jammy so and so :p

I like 3 and 7 for the dramatic angle of bank. I guess jets are bit easier to shoot than props, being you just whack the shutter speed up?

Some great shots. I've never seen this plane before - I've just read the Wikipedia entry for it - very interesting.

Thanks for the comments both, it'll be an interesting year for them in 2016.
 
Not impressed at all, ok that's a HUGE lie:D

Amazing pic's and your so lucky to get to do this.
 
Theyre all great but #4 is textbook. Its clear in all of them that you understand how important the position of the Sun relative to your subject is - something that a lot of guys who do this full-time still haven't mastered. As I've said before as well, made up that you got this gig. Expect to see more air/air from you in the future. Let me know if you need a hand next time ;)

Fair play! What altitude where you for that? Looks low, especially at 45mm.

Sorry for all the inane questions!

This was about 500ft, just after we flew past the container ship. We were working from 500-2000ft.

Thanks mate, means a lot. We've set-up a aero media specialist company now so there may well be ;)
