I visited Shuttleworth 35 years ago when I was in England on my OE. A really cool collection of planes.

WOW, were you shooting from another plane or from that ground?

WOW, were you shooting from another plane or from that ground?

Shooting from the ground. You want to capture more topside shots rather than underside, and if you manage that and the clouds are good as I had that day, it gives a powerful impression of flight. Thanks for the kind words.

Yeah but they must have been flying very low to get shots of the topside…

Quite low but not ground hugging. It works when they are banking from behind the display line on the right to behind the display line on the left, or vice versa - and it's easier with a small airshow with relatively shorter crowd line as here. You just have to be patient to get them in the right attitude.
