RAF Cottesmore Families Day
 
Evening all,

I spent a very pleasant day outside COT today. The light could've been better, but the flying was good and it was great to see the Harrier four-ship and the Vulcan inparticular.

VMT for the excellent pictures - every single one!

However, having been caught up with 801 NAS twice in past years, I was particularly taken with the photo of the RNHF's WV908 - a very pretty sight.

Cracking photos, especially as it wasn't a perfect day for photos. What camera eqpt are you using?

VARIABLE_KNIFE 25th Jul 2008 20:04

So anybody got more info on the near-mishap at Odiham's families day then involving Typhoon? 15ft above the trees after messed up :eek:departure and some very burnt grass?

Nice images Karl, especially the final one of 558.

I thought that I read a thread on Odiham, guess it must have been pulled to stop the journos getting invloved.

KarlADrage 27th Jul 2008 15:47

Thanks all.

Eezyboy - these were all taken on a Canon EOS-40D with a Sigma 120-300mm f2.8 lens, teamed up with a Canon 2x converter.

I think everyone was too busy ducking for cover before, and surveying the carnage after.

Great shots Karl. What's the team in that first shot?

Incidentally, and this is huge thread drift, does anyone have any idea what the 4 biplanes were, or where they were going.. heading south down the A1 (over Biggleswade), 1715 Friday? Not sure if they were heading home from the show..?

TEEEJ 27th Jul 2008 19:31

Well done, Karl. I particularly like the last shot of XH558.

Al, the team is The Blades. They recently had a change of colour scheme.

Ah, thanks. Didn't travel too then far I see.

The Blades

Al R

The Bi-planes you saw were probably 4 Stearman PT17s led by an ex OC 1 Sqn - if so one of them is owned by "Judge Deed".

Al R 27th Jul 2008 20:59

Cheers - they looked and sounded sweet. I had just fuelled up and was watching a load of American heavy metal that was cruising to a show when they pottered along overhead. A nice way to end the day.
