Al,
On the issue with filters. The general consensus is to not to use them with DSLRs and keep the lens as pure as possible. With some lenses the filters can produce all sorts of issues resulting in soft images for example. The low-fly snappers have more or less binned theirs and only use them for transit protection. I myself used to have an Nikon 80-400 and it produced even softer images with a UV/Skylight filter on.

Popkid,
The Lanc was flying yesterday at RAF Coningsby. What a sight and sound! I was down by the Old Fen Lane side and got a private airshow. Thanks guys and girls! I was the mad nutter running up and down the lane trying to get you in frame. A few black and white conversions on the 'Phantom of the Ruhr' side from yesterday.
