A few old planes

Visited Compton Abbas on Saturday with some friends and for this late in the year it was very active.

The Boeing biplane "lives" at Compton, as does the Chipmunk, but I haven't seen the Gypsy Moth or Tiger Moth before. Unfortunately the resident Harvard wasn't flying and was covered up. I was actually up there with my car and a few mates, so the images were a bit "grabby". Nice to see some old stuff fly though.

I didn't realise that Boeing had made small biplanes!
 
Some good images there, Steve (y) I think they would have benefitted from a slower shutter speed to get some more distinct prop blur.

I've driven past that airfield dozens of times over the years but never called in. I'm told they have a good café :)

The cafe is why we were there, a great place to finish our morning run on the twisty roads of North Dorset & Wiltshire :ROFLMAO:

I can't shoot at low shutter speeds without a tripod unfortunately, due to my hands shaking when I grip the camera. :confused:
