A trip over to RAF Coningsby on Friday to catch up with the Typhoons. Some of the locals...

A Shadow R1 (this aircraft may or may not exist

)....

Finally as the light was going two new Typhoons were delivered, ZK326 and ZK325....

Really very cool Gord!!! I love planes and these have been captured superbly.

Good work!

Thanks Ant, could have done with longer periods of sun but I can't really complain with what I came away with!

No indeed!

Can i ask a geeky tech question? Can you tell me what lens/camera combo you are using for these shots and your aviation shots in general?

Thanks!

All the above shot with a Nikon D300 and 300 f/2.8 VR. I shoot with this combo as much as possible and enjoy it (although I really want a 500 for air shows!).

I also use a 70-200 f/2.8 VR for helicopters and taxi shots.
