F4,
I give you my word, I paid my entry like the rest of em. I have the ticket with the Arrows on it to prove it. I have not attended an airshow for nearly two years, I just fancied a day out and to meet a few 'mates'. I sorted my location once there. I did not apply for a press pass. Perhaps I should ask for a free on next year?
Thanks for the comments on my 'shots', looked at your website, got me in the Links but just under photography! How about the awesome Banana jet? www.BlackburnBuccaneer.co.uk
or Aviation art www.AvCollect.com
Promise to put a write up about your site on our Buccaneer tribute CD.

Iwas at Waddo for the SAT display and frankly I do not know why the USAF B1-B
displayed at all as I have seen many displays and his was NOT A MEMORABLE DISPLAY.
I hear that he did a BETTER display on the Sunday but not having seen it I will make NO comment. As for the IAF static display on the Sat it was one of the BEST I have seen anywhere.Again I believe that there Flying Display on the Sunday was SUPER and the sooner they return the better.

Chairborne,
thank you for your reply, I agree with you on the press facilities, it is frustrating when we (photographers) have one goal which is to get the best photographs we can and our whole day is taken up with this quest! We can sometimes feel we are kept too far away from aircraft, or feel there is not enough done to accommodate our needs! However, the organisers have a duty to keep the airfield safe. I personally have been amazed at some of the things I have seen over the years where security has or could have been breached and a potential disaster could have occurred.

Spit- You heard right. I saw the B1-B on both Sat & Sun, and it did perform slightly better on the Sun. It's first pass (wings back)was faster & louder & showed more of its belly to the crowd. It also made one or two more slow passes than it did on Sat, but overall, still not as good as I know they can do.
Snaps - Super snaps. Great site too!

All,
I have finally managed to get over 70 photographs from Waddo onto my site.
The wx was lousy for photographs for most of Sunday (the day I was there) but you are all invited to take a look. Apologies as they are only standard 'airshow' photographs but it was a great day out and havent been to a show for two years!
My normal web address is down!! so please use www.AvCollect.co.uk
