The line up for this years event is starting to take shape now as we get ever closer. Trade bookings are filling up as well as the flight line. Merlin Innovations Gas Hanger Falcon Aviation Vulcan Hobbies Elite Workwear Mike Eccles will also be with us with the LMA stand if you want to pop along and have a chat BMFA will also be attending with their very popular Flight simulator trailer, great for all ages to have a try at flying RC model aircraft for the first time or to have a go at a full size RC Mustang. Pilot bookings are coming in but we still have slots available. Camping for pilots will be available free from the Thursday before the show until the Monday after. Breakfast will be provided both days of the show and a BBQ Saturday night with hopefully some entertainment thrown in. If you fancy joining us for what our past display pilots tell us is "One of the best organised, relaxed and enjoyable shows of the calendar" Pilot application forms are on our web site.

Pilot bookings are starting to come in now as the planning for this year continues apace. Don't forget I need numbers to ensure I have enough bacon, sausages and cakes to keep you all well fed over the weekend. We do appreciate our pilots!

Better results from the photography than the flying today. Got some repairs to do over the weekend but this was the sunrise this morning. -

Posted by Ultymate on 18/09/2013 08:07:13: Posted by Lee Wilson on 17/09/2013 22:34:03: Ultymate, whats your opinion of the Sigma 150-500mm? I have been considering one but see quite a few mixed reviews, are your wildlife shots taken with it as they look superb? cheers Lee Lee, I love the lens, I bought it second hand around a year ago, it's not the best in low light but then again a lens with that much reach that is good in low light takes you into second mortgage territory. I can use it in low light but this will usually give some noise in my images but I can usually sort this in PP. It gives my arms a good workout when used hand held so as much as possible I tend to use either a monopod or tripod and yes most if not all of my wildlife shots are taken with it. Thanks Ultymate. I think a bit of internet trawling for the best deals may be the order of the day.
