Royal Navy Black Cats




Chinook




Sea King MK48

 

Good show, I like the first pic of the balck cats and the chinook pic, nice positioning and good light on the propellors. That Belgian Sea King has an interesting paint job...beats navy grey.

Cheers Tim, shame you couldn't make it.
Its always good to see some foreign stuff flying as they always make the effort to paint their planes & Helicopters

 

I love the Sea King

 

Very cool series. Awesome how manoeuvrable they are.

 

Are those loadies posers or what!!!

 

In a word.... YES

Not sure about the fashion statement their making with the white gloves though

 

Nice images! Wht length lens are you using on these kind of shots.?

 

I was using a Canon 70-200mm F2.8 IS with a 2x converter

 

great captures.

 

White leather gloves are UK aircrew issue aren't they?

Got any tips for aishow photography, as I'm going to the Southport airshow in September - best lens is the 40-150mm zoom, f4.5, & I don't have a teleconverter either. What metering do you use for these shots?
