Nice ones Weather this weekend at Waddington promises to be good so some good pics should be in the offing

Re: Red Arrows Practise

These give me something to aim for, as I'm going to Waddington for my first ever air show.
I can feel the pressure already.

Re: Red Arrows Practise

Never gets boring looking at your shots of the Reds.

I can't find fault anywhere. #3 is special, tells the story without much plane being in the shot... then you realise there's 2 planes in there (look top right!). Nice.

All the best, Mike.

Re: Red Arrows Practise

Thanks all for your kind comments, I am trying to post differing shots rather than just the formations, although the formation shots do show the absolute precision these guys can fly with, and what makes them the best Display Team in the World.

Stan, the light was still very poor, although there was some texture to the Grey. It came lovely in the Afternoon!!! with Blue Sky and Cotton Wool Clouds. Typical.

Anyway, off again today, another practise at 10.30.
