Old Warden - 100 years of the RAF Airshow

[cambsno]

Very hot, but nice day at Old Warden airshow yesterday. They do put on a great show, although from a personal and selfish view I tend to like them when they are quieter! No cloud in the sky meant I tended to avoid my normal shots as I do like some cloud to add contrast. Also, was using my shortest lens for years (a 70-200 f4) which is quite a bit shorter than my last lens (150-600). Shot most in DX format on the D750.

can you imagine the bravery of getting into a boxkite for the first time and told to go fly it!
