Just back from the annual Battle of Britian At Home Day airshow at RAF Leuchars in Fife. The weather was, for once, superb although shooting into the sun is never easy....

Sore neck from this one but worth it!

did you get stuck in the 4 hr delay getting back out?

No, the joys of parking in one of the base office car parks

It took us two and a half ours to get out!!
rpstewart can I ask what camera and lense you used for those shots?

Canon 1DMkII & 100-400L for all 4.

btw have you rotated the last shot? as I think all the aircraft were landing left to right from the crowd. Unless you were airside of course

No rotation. The shot was taken from in front of the old Q shed at the far right of the display line.
