Some fantastic photos there!
I particularly like the way you've managed to get the shutter speed low enough in the chopper pics to blur the rotors, but fast enough to keep the fuselage sharp. What settings were those taken at?

Thanks for the reply.
Exif is embedded in all pics ,setting varied due to the light changing by the second and amount of very black and white clouds plus some blue sky now and again lol

Some nice shots there! The F16 looks like it put on a good show.

The Harrier is from RAF Cottesmore, I've shot it a few times.

It was a good day

The only problem I found was the sun tended to backlight the flying display, rather than illuminate it.

And hey! That's my Nimrod! (I was one of the groundcrew down on that trip!)

Cool shots! Well caught there

I do hate how the weather leaves a nasty grey background on many of my shots too though
