Hi All,
Hope you don't mind, but I got my Pass Stamped today by SWMBO to go to Scampton to watch the Reds Practise again.
I was there for two sorties, the First at 0900, lovely blue sky, the Second at 1115 by which time quite a lot of the Sky was Cloudy and Grey. I pitched myself right at the end of the Runway, which I know one shouldn't do really as they pass right over your head at Take Off, nut is just so exhilarating having Nine Red Jets pass over you.
In between the two Flights I was sat alone waiting and there wasn't a Sound except for Birdsong, Skylarks I believe, it was just beautiful and with a bit of Imagination it was easy to imagine being there in the Summer of 1943 as the Mighty Lancaster's took to the Sky from this very place to embark on the Dambusters Raid.
Ho Hum, back to reality, all the shots are taken with 7D and either 400mm F5.6L or 70-200mm F2.8L, somehow during the second display I managed to move the Dial from TV to P and the result was quite a lot of shots taken at too low a speed of 1/640th!!!
Can't Post Pic's, I keep getting a Download PHP Box, will try Later!!! Grrrr. Is it Wine O Clock Yet?
