I had considered writing a few words about the show, but instead I'll just thank everyone who worked so hard to make yesterday evening such a success and quote a comment I overhreard in the crowd during the SE5a/Triplane display:
"it doesn't get any better than this"
A few photos for your delectation (I've managed to stamp most of these with "2004" in the copyright, I'll change them when I have time):
After lurking in the dark recesses of Andy Preslent's workshop for many months, the Pup is nearing completion. It's simply stunning. Note the large Le Prieur rockets on the struts.

The Triplane and SE5a displays were some of the best I\'ve seen - hats off to Andy Sephton & Trevor Roche - masters of their art.

For these two limbo shots I tried my old 10D with a 28-135 lens instead (being a great deal lighter it\'s much easier to pan with)

This is the first Old Warden show that I\'ve shot entirely in RAW and I\'ve got to say that it\'s a big improvement over JPG. It\'s more work, but it\'s definately worth it. It\'s just a shame that a great deal of detail, tone and gradation is lost in shrinking down to an 800 pixel JPG for posting.
