Just a reminder for anyone heading to this event this weekend, this is not a stand alone fly in. The Radial & Trainer Fly In is essentially part of the 'Wings' element of a Wings & Wheels Style Event. As such there will be no airside access, anyone popping on a bib and trying to get airside or into ...

Just my view, but you have asked for opinions, I'm afraid I don't like the combining of all the photography threads. My own interests (other than military over on FC) were Helicopters and the lighter side of GA. Updates and recent photos on both of these subjects were easy to find when they had thei...

Great Shot

Yes it is the one based at Turweston, should have said this photo was taken at Halfpenny Green where it night stopped between duties.

An after dark shot of G-RIDB the first UK registered Bell 429

They carry some kit that they leave on the ground (base station) then carry out flights doing some sort of geographical survey work with info relayed back to the base station or something very similar to this. The only reason is that I saw it operating out of Halfpenny Green for a day and asked the ...

Nice visitor to Halfpenny Green today.

Just a 'heads up' that The Military Vehicle Trust' are holding their first Halfpenny Green event this Saturday and Sunday 25th & 26th May. As an active airfield Halfpenny Green is also fully open to flying visitors as normal, so hopefully there will be an increased number of visitors. Gates open at ...

Thanks for the kind comments.

A very big thank you to the guys and girls at Central Counties Air Support Unit that made these photos possible. I was trying for a few photos taken during the 'blue hour'. The unit got a shout for a job so I only managed to get a couple of shots off at the start of the 'blue hour' before the helico...

Not strictly a pure GA photo, but a bit of fun with a photo sandwich and a C42 flying a tight circuit.

We used a C42 which was quite nice, plenty of space to shoot looking over the shoulder, just had to make sure the wing struts were out of the way.
Thanks for the comments re the blog.

Some air to air photos of Jurca Tempete G-ASUS. The photos were all taken on the owners last flight in G-ASUS before he sold it. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rRJJY2Sj2L4/UP1gNNTQ7hI/AAAAAAAAAj4/0vP5uw6lrNk/s640/Air+To+Air+MJ2+Tempete+G-ASUS+by+Perspective-i+%252823%2529.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Aq...

G-WADS is currently a resident at HG operating with the helicopter guys at the base of the tower.

Don't forget its the 1940s weekend at Halfpenny Green with around 100 military vehicles and over 300 re-enactors booked in. Whilst its not strictly a fly-in, visitors by air get free entry to the event, so it may attract a few visiting types. Military marked aircraft also get free landing fees and f...

Love that second shot

G-ARHC is based at Halfpenny Green and G-HARY is based at Bourn. Basically the owner of G-HARY was making a social visit to the current owner of G-ARHC as he'd ferried the pilot of G-ARHC when it was originally delivered to Halfpenny Green. And no I wasn't in either of the Aircoupes and it was a lov...

A few photos from a quick trip with a pair of 1960's Aircoupes. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QyTWYupJP3M/TvtLPTwZAyI/AAAAAAAAAVw/YAwVBtaS5zA/s1600/Forney+F-1A+Aircoupe+G-ARHC+Perspective-i%252805%2529.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jHKZ5RonU1k/TvtLNsFGOoI/AAAAAAAAAVo/nvfdX-b9GcQ/s1600/Forney+F-1A+Aircou...

Simon, Are you talking generally or flying shots or static shots etc. Simply the direction in which you take the shot in relation to the sun can make a huge difference, also the human eye is much better at adapting for high contrast scenes than the camera ! Most Canon SLRs have a metering lock butto...
