Managed another stop at Shuttleworth today and decided to try the panning with slower shutter speeds for prop blur, as suggested by the more experienced toggers on here.
I had plenty of blurry shots and fair enough the chosen subjects are not the hardest, nevertheless I was pleased to make some progress and get a few I liked, even some in the air ! I stuck with SS125 and SS250 for these aircraft. I did notice that it makes a difference if the aircraft are taxiing to the runway or in full throttle as the prop is moving faster at take off (another lesson)
The good thing about slower shutter speeds, very low ISO, however, the skies were blowing out. Is this something you have to accept sometimes or do you drop the exposure compensation and try to lift the shadows after in edit? I guess a lot depends on the weather, the position of the sun, and the type/speed of the aircraft?
