VE Day Fly Past

Post by tim »

Decided to go stand under the flight path just south of Ipswich today, got some pretty neat pics I think.

You settle up, I'll go get the Jag.

They didn’t fly over Glasgow 🙁

I had to go to Insta to view your pics - following your link took me to a “this account is private” page :?

Just an old Canon 450D and a decent L series 200mm zoom.

Great pictures, did the Lancaster form up somewhere else away from you?

Yeah it joined in south of Chelmsford I think. We were originally going to go further south but Lemon Hill Bridge looked like a really good viewing spot that was likely to be quiet, which is was. There were bazillions of people at the Orwell Bridge so glad we didn't go there.

That's going well! Still have my collection of DSLRs. Main advantage of the new mirrorless is the new RF lenses - the older DSLR bodies gave just as good results IMO.
