Pretty sure No.3 flew over my house! I'm a total plane numpty though so I may be wrong, it made a really good sound if that helps lol
Was the weather dull on Saturday? These do look a little grey to me.
Good work Lynton.

Jeff - um it was
a) Sunday
Could have been the Spit but would have been with its hurricane counterpart as BBMF....
Alternatively what you may have heard was the totally gorgeous P-51 Mustang, which was flying around loads............ and there's a couple of Mustang's based over at Seething.... I think essentially the engine is similar to the Rolls Royce 28 litre Merlin 12 cylinder, but made under licence. Think it's Packard - but not into planes that much so cannot comment........
Where in Norfolk are you?

Oh, tbh I have kinda lost track of the day's as I've been on leave. It was definitely an old plane flying over but I didn't have my camera handy to get a photo.
I'm out in Pulham Market so could be the Mustang.

If it was you with Tim then I think we met on Sunday.
I like the first. Is the last one hdr?, just looks like it has a halo on my monitor.
How did you get on with the Siggy 120-400 I have been looking at these and wondered if it was any good for airshows.

Yeah - the dull sky is a tad beyond my control, I know photography god and all, but no control over the sky.......
No HDR in sight. :nono:
Last one is a B&W conversion through Photoshop and Silver Efex.......
Graham - yeah it was me next to Tim and his impossibly huge lens.......... 120-400 was OK - I tried it out with a 1.7TC as well, but took it offm as couldn't zoom out enough....... I am sure the siggy is capable - its the tw4t holding it that takes bad pics...... don't mean to be rude here, but which person were you that I spoke to during the day (sorry - Tim attracted a shedload of interest with his Monster lens!)
overall hit rate was a bit meh though- I need to practice handholding and panning with best part of 3 KG of camera gear.

I was the one with the straw hat on with my daughter. I dont think Tim had long set up beside the runway. We spoke about the Mustang because I live at Hempnall and it flys over alot into Hardwick where there are 2 based.
Prehaps I will stick to my Nikon 70-300 for now, and a gym membership until i am strong enough

Ah cool - always good to put a name to a face.............or a face to a name - whatever way round it should be!!!
The Sigma 120-400 is pretty good as an airshow lens. they have just now released an updated version of it (Don't know what the differences are - I assume a more advanced OS system in the lens) or a different lens coating.......
