First time. Next time I'll bring some bolt cuters

The only pic of a spitfire all day & it turns up with its ghost in tow!

[/quote]

A professional photographer friend tells me this can not happen with a digi camera but often does It's double exposure from either low shutter or camera shake he pointed to the position of the prop on both the top actual and bottom ghost aircraft.He's something like DT when he gets going basically and to cut a long one short it's 2 adjoining frames on a film superimposed .No I am not going to ask him why it happens on a digi camera .But something about fast finger clicking twice rapidly seems to be the answer he was giving me.

Personally as it is the 70th anniversary year I prefer the mysterious ghost one .

edit because spill chucker didn't register som

Thanks for the info HH .

On a worse note...............All flying cancelled until at least 14:30!
Gladly I'm still at home as I was only going for the last 2hrs anyway, but that could still go belly up yet.

No, I've been sat infront of the echo website for the last hour just refreshing the page (sad, I know) I was hoping to venture down at 3pm to see the big boys play, but I'm not hopeful now

I've had my eye on that one too. The blades went right over my place, but never appeared on the camera. At that point I knew today was doomed

Edit: The Black Cats have just flown right over the house en route for the beach.......Fingers crossed.......for everything being back on for the rest of the day

[Pujgnie]

Probably on a recce of cloudbase during display.

If it continues to brighten up more stuff may get airborne

Possibly??? They were next up on the display bill. Unless the conditions are just too poor even for them to do a full display. Thay have come back already!!! they we're only our for all of 5 mins

[Pujgnie]

This is where the schedule goes out the window.

The lastest is there is no flying until further notice, next update due now........
XH558 Tweeted @ 3pm: Aircraft serviced and ready to go. To go as far as the hangar door probably.

BmthAirFest tweet:

UPDATE: Weather is changable but due to improve. Potential flying until 6pm. A decision will be made on the Red Arrows by 4pm. Thank you

[Mayfly]

TBH I'm not sure which is worse - hanging around hoping - or calling it a day.

Sods law says as soon as they say thats it canx all flying, the sun will come out!!
