I have finally sorted some of the photographs taken on the day.

Lancaster of the BBMF during it's display.

MI24 Hind of the Czech Air Force durings it's display.

Attempt at making an old feel to the Spitfire as the misty conditions during this display meant b&w was only way to get an end result.

Major was the 20D and my Sigma 70-300mm APO DG Macro lens used for all of the air displays.

I have used shadows and highlights on some of the pictures posted here and the others just didn't work right when i did use it, so undid it as the picture looked worse. Also the sigma lens is a bit soft at 300mm and i did notice this on a lot of pictures and i am thinking of a new lens to replace this in time.

Will have an experiment and try to find a better setting for it though and see if it makes an improvement.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions for improvements.
