[James Wheeler]

Here are a few highlights from a great season opener for Shuttleworth:

The show got started with the impressive Buchon display:

We had a range of weather on the day giving us some lovely gloom for the Sea Hurricane:

I shall be in attendance both days if the weather plays ball, may try and nip across to Shuttleworth for the evening show too. There's also a Chipmunk meet at OW on the Friday too. Busy weekend

 

[James Wheeler]

Yes, I will possibly be at DX on Friday for the practice and will be there both days also

Nice set James. Maybe 3, 4, 5 & 6 could do with a boost to shadows? I'll be ambling about Duxford too for the show, Friday Saturday & Sunday!

Thanks for the comments, Harry.

I'd intentionally processed them to be quite dark, results seem to vary by screen unless calibrated. Trying for something a bit different, doesn't always entirely work The head on looks best I think.

I'll see you there I'm sure!

Fair shout! Wish I had of gone but oh well!

Yes I'm sure we will bump into one another

I shall be in the fields south side so I probably won't bump into you but will keep an eye out for shots
