Civilian Aviation

These are some of my photos taken at the Saturday airshow of the Duxford Battle of Britain weekend. They were taken from Duxford village, some in the Brewery field Park and the remainder from the Community Centre football field. The heat haze was a bit of a sod but better than rain!

Nice set. Good to see what the view was like from there

thanks. It wasn't bad but a lot were near to full zoom and when photographing from the Brewery field there was a lot of heat haze over the corn stubble under the approach. That was one reason why I moved back to the community centre, I also was able to get more variety of angles and with the sun on the aircraft as they banked round.
It was worth going for as I had limited time and had to dash away quickly at the end.
