Mainly Mustangs !

Hi, Went to Breighton airshow today for the 1st time, Weather wasn't too good at first (just a bit windy and dull), then it just started to brighten up as I left.
I didn't know what to expect and it was a bit quiet at first - prob due to weather, but I ended up with a few shots that were ok, but most were of the Mustangs.
Anyway, here they are;

Mustang pilot briefing guest passenger

Spitfire pilot

Sorry..forgot what this bloke was in
...edit, I remembered, it was a YAK I think

Cheers,
Rich

Nothing at all with P-51's, georgeous plane to look at (better than the spitfires and hurricanes, but not as nice as the Mosquito IMO)

Nice pics with just the right amount of blur on the props.

LOL, can't beat soft white baps!

Sorry I didn't make it today, weather didn't look too good and I couldn't face the long drive so opted for something local.
That's the 1st airshow I've taken photos at, there is another one over here (Yorkshire) at Elvington in August I think, so give me a shout if you're accross here.

Ooops, just re-read what I said - I didn't mean to imply that there was owt wrong with Mustangs (I love 'em actually), just that they seemed to be the only really interesting planes there that I managed to get any half decent pics of. BTW - the Sea Fury is my personal fave of these old planes .

Nice shots,
Ill be opacking baps for sunday provided the severe weather warning does not come true.
Ill be packing for all seven of us as we have 5 kids.
Looking forward to this and hopefully ill get some pics that are ok unlike legends that out of about 1500 pics i maybe got 3 so so ones.
As continuous focus was turned off, and i was there for both days....Doh.
All the best,
james,

Bye the way do you know the bannana is a natural anti depresant, not supprising then that its britains fave fruit and we get through about25 million tons a year.
Wish they still agreed with me as i love them but my stomache seams to have had a falling out withthem.
May be due to over kill while i worked on 2 fruit and veg stalls for about 4 years.

I think I saw you, but you were deep in conversation so didn't want to bother you .

I left as the sun started comming out (when that Dakota:shrug: thing came in) so avoided the sunburn. Looks like I should have stayed a bit longer to get some of the other planes, particularly that tri-plane (nice pic in your set ).
