Warbird pics

Took some photos at the RAF museum at Hendon (North London) a few weeks ago. Just thought I'd share a couple of my favourites for anyone who might have a slight interest in aircraft pics.

Well a P51 is a P51 no matter where it is. :wink:

Nice shots, I didn't know Black 6 was back on display.

Thanks. The accident was back in '97 so it's static only now of course.

I don't know exactly when it was restored to it's current state and put back on display.

Nice website Scott. I'm off to Duxford this weekend for the airshow. Hopefully I'll get some good shots of these machines in their proper environment

If I get any good ones I'll put them up.

Thanks. Yep that's a P47 Thunderbolt. It flew too, as did almost all the old aircraft there.

Great shots Ant. Love seeing those old birds in the air.

Glad to see so many aviation buffs around here! I'm a die hard as well. I have a fly-in breakfast at my local airport. I'll be there bright and early to catch the morning light.

Yes, they look great in the air.

Unfortunately, whilst I was pretty impressed with the photos that my Oly 750 took on the ground it was a bit of a hit and miss affair getting airborne shots due to the shutter lag and relatively slow focus.

I'm starting to save my pennies because I'm determined to go to next year's show with a Nikon D70 and a couple of lenses

If anybody is interested in seeing ny more pics of this airshow just go here:
