That's a very nice collection, Huw - looks like you had excellent weather on the day. It always amazes me how these old aircraft are kept flying and presented so beautifully.

Thanks Ian, yes the weather was pretty much perfect. T shirt weather really and luckily the wind was favourable for some of the older aircraft. The Avro Triplane flew last.

Here's another which I had intended to upload earlier, an SE5a lit by a setting sun helping to show the wing structure.

Excellent and interesting images. I know photographing aircraft is not easy. Thanks for showing us.

What a great and detailed photo, almost looks like a toy.

Thanks for sharing - a great set of images. They're all excellent, but I really liked the last of the first set where you've caught reflections in the bodywork

Ooo wow, what fun!

You have a superb collection of super shots there! I'd be hard pushed to choose a favourite because I love them all!

Very nice shots Huw, nice to see the blur on the propellers.They are all good shots, my favourite is the Sea hurricane beautiful three point landing. Amazing detail and clarity. Hope you enjoyed your time spent there, and thanks for posting. regards John.

Thanks Pol, I'm glad you like them

Thanks Pops, these old aircraft are such a pleasure to see, even more so when they are being flown on such a lovely day

Thank you John, we really enjoyed the day at the shuttleworth Flying Day and as you say I aimed to try and catch prop blur in each image, I'm not a fan of frozen props
