Wow,
Your photos never fail to amaze me, absolutely love them
You must have a lot of patience. I love all these plane shots, I prefer the ww2 planes but these are great!
I was once stood on the roof of Blackpool police HQ on Bonny Street as a Harrier jump jet hovered over the Sea Life Centre. If was so close I could feel the hot air pushing me over and the smell of jet wash. I could read the writing on the sides of the pods etc but my camera was at home. It is the only time I have been in a position to take pictures as good as yours and I failed miserably

Wow, amazing shot, so sharp and crisp, the detail is amazing! Ive tried photographing fast moving aircraft and found it challenging! Though to be fair I was using basic equipment at the time! Good work!

We would need to work out how then. Its not very easy to get on some of these hillsides at the best of times. But we could investigate the options.

Thanks Matthew. It is very challenging! Thats the buzz!
It's taken me 2 years ( 5 trips) to get to this stage and there are far better guys out there than me! I'm hoping to catch them up though.

There is a layby at Tebay Julian that I believe you can park in and see the aircraft come round. It's just a bit further on than where I shot these.
Maybe someone who knows the place better than me will be able to show some shots from there.
I've seen the place, but not been there when they have come through.

Id be happy with just getting a clear shot of a wing tip or tail on the plane
Just a thought. Directly opposite from where I shot this, there is a road that you should be able to park and shoot from. It can be seen from my other shots posted earlier.
I'll try to keep out of the shot for you, so it's not ruined!

Kev dont forget the layby just after you cross over the motorway you should be able to get level shots from there if there is any one who might not be upto the hills and iam sure they would find it a good and easy location

Usually I only tend to need 300mm. But I used the 2 x converter for this one. So 600mm FF.
This may help you with a bit of info: http://www.warplane.co.uk/location%20guide.htm
See you up the hills soon!
