Farnborough Airshow 2012!

[Matt_90]

Well Airshow week has begun and its manic! I am luckily on half days all week at work because of it which means I get to sit around drink beer and take photos! I am going in on Friday and Saturday so hoping the weather holds out. Here are a few of my Favourite shots so far I will post more as the week goes on if I can.

Nice pictures.

The airshow this year is poor though imo, I was there on Monday.

Cheers Simon. I totally agree there is alot of stuff not there this year! which is a shame.

Edit. Just realised your viva! Lol. Might head up to the monkey puzzle later, or maybe the multi storey.

Nice, that first one looks amazing. Paint job makes the fuselage look very Nimrod like

Cheers chaps!

Pint! I am going to be down Southwood or the swan on Thursday and I am in on Friday and Saturday. Southwood is far better than the swan for getting pics.

Well I attended the airshow yesterday and the flying display was a bit of a disappointment compared to other years!

Anyway another photo update...

 

[timuss]

Lovely shots, ive given Farnborough a miss this year, its so expensive and even with my 400mm lens the display is so distant IMO.

 

[Cup_Phil]

Awesome shots - love the vulcan taking off!

What lens do you use? Looks fairly long!

 

[Matt_90]

Cheers phil! I shot these with a 70-200mm f2.8 Tamron

 

[Cup_Phil]

Oh wow - I was expecting longer than that
I've got the Canon 70-200 f2.8 but not had a chance to try it at an air show yet. I'll have to get to one soon

Thanks

Nice shots Matt. I was up on the multi storey today and the weather was shocking. My pics are crap from today. I'm attending tomorrow so hope It perks up.
