Dependant on any observations re. the attached Pics. will help me decide if I show the second calendar I have had produced from my visit to the "Moth Meet" at Woburn, last August. !!!!!!

Fantastic se of pics! Er... the Travelair? Where did that one come from?
I presume the Udet Flamingo is the aeroplane that came to grief during the summer?

Hi there HD.
The camera is a Nikon D300, but the lens is what gives the results.
I used my Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 AFS zoom , NON digital lens.
When on my D300 it gives me equall to 120-300mm.
From my experience its superior to the follow up 70-200 f2.8 VR1 AFS zoom.
I had one, but went back to the 80-200mm zoom, which I found optically better!!!!

The Curtiss Travalair 4000 came from "Mengen" in southern Germany.
owned/operated by Alois Bader.
As for the Udet Flamingo.
This is the second of two "Repros, this red one built in 1993, out of Bad Neustadt in Germany.
Owned/operated by Ulrich Stengele
The one that crashed was at the "Tannkosh" meet in southern Germany a couple of weeks before Hahnweide meet.
(Looking back at my archives I note that I photographed the crashed one at The Aircraft Museum at Oberschleissheim Nr. Munich. in 2008)

HD.
Without giving any specific info., I can say that there was a small amount of
work , eg. a bit of cropping maybe, without impacting or taking anything away from the Photo. as taken.
As I noted before, the quality is in the "Lens" and having an eye for the right moment to hit the button.
I have been taking Photos since the 1950s, semi pro. since 1974 so have had a bit of practice.!!!!!
With many thanks for your posts and kind words, it gives me a buzz to think others appreciate my efforts.
This also applies to "mutt"who I know has posted appreciation for my Photos.
now and on previous occasions.
Thanks to all who respond, it encourages me to carry on in my hobby.
