A cracking day out with some excellent company. I do believe Mr Patterson enjoyed it.

A couple of minor comments. There were too many inconsiderate press photographers wandering around the aircraft during the flightline walk. The opening and ending to the show are blockbusters with the Spitfire tail chase and Balbo however it loses its way in the middle somewhat.
But in the end we can forgive that as it is a bloody superb spectacle. Long may it continue. A big thank you to EVERYONE involved in organising the show for us, long may it continue

I'm stunned! :) Those are fantastic shots. The ten-ship Spit flight must have been quite the experience.

I must know, what type of photographic gear are you using?

Excellent work. And I thought we were luck seeing two Spits, a Hurricane, 2 B-17s, a Helldiver and a SBD at Geneseo.

Excellect shots as usual. I love the shot of the two B-17's. I've been lucky enough to have seen 7 of the airworthy B-17's over the years, but never more than one at a time.

:lol: Same here, I need to get a 10D body ASAP. I'm developing an inferiority complex as far as airshow photography is concerned :P

Are you sure the camera is the limiting factor, or is it the loose nut behind the wheel? :)
