First off some sequence shots and then images from Thursday and Saturday in no particular order the photos have been edited for maximum viewing and some are iregular sizes making the thumbnails look rather odd. click to enlarge and scroll through.

I have been unable to find out which planes are flying but judging by todays practice flights, there will be spitfires, and mustangs and the harvard among others, rumors are rife on the internet that lord march was the mysterious donor to the Vulcan to the skies project and that it will be making an unannouced flight though it is not listed on the vulcan website and the red arrows are listed as being in Newcastle.

As per the festival of speed, i shall be putting a few teaser pics up before i do a gallery, with the camera fixed hopefully the pictures should be a lot better then the festival ones!

Red Arrows 09 Goodwood festival of speed

Wayne Humphrey — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 23:24:30 +0000

Well i made it out today finished at the office early, it seems as though any thoughts i had on preparation for todays trip counted for not a lot, i checked what should have been all the correct settings however still made some critical mistakes, maybe im being to hard on myself these things aren’t exactly flying slowly, and neither are that particularly close!
If i take a few pics of some people half of them come out blurred so how do i expect to get a jet aeroplane in focus.
981 photos were taken in just 24 mins many of which were series shots most of which were not useable for printing, some are nice to look at, that is until you view them at full scale and realise just how bad i can be with manual focusing.
The following is some images that have been resized for the web and cropped a little.

Enjoy

Goodwood Festival of Speed ~ Red Arrows

Wayne Humphrey — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:55:48 +0000

Well its that time of year again sadly i have never been or had the opportunity to go maybe next year?

I have always been a fan of the Red Arrows ever since i was a kid, let’s be honest who isn’t?

that and the Avro Vulcan which i last saw probably over 20 years ago it was due to make an appearance at last years revival meting but didn’t make it due to mechanical failure and was told may not fly again thanks to the help of charity and volunteers the beast will be back in our skies throughout the summer i hope and is due to be attending this years revival on Sept 20th 2009. Maybe i will not only see it but get a picture this year!

So here is one of 300 odd pictures i took last year from the edge of a field near Homebase it was in my beginning days of photography and i made some critical errors with focusing etc.

I know Ellie and Livy enjoyed themselves last time so we will be up there again on Sunday better luck this time……

Red Arrows
