Location
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!

Sloe Fair Northgate Car Park, Chichester
Sloe fair at the northgate Car park in Chichester is some thing of a local tradition in more ways than one in more recent times tradition is that it always rains, however real tradition is that the fair takes place every year on the 20th October every year unless the 20th is a sunday in which case its is on the 21st, the right to hold the fair was passed by King Henry I in the 12th century. He gave the Bishop of Chichester the right to hold a fair on land where a car park now stands and the event was named after an ancient tree which once stood in the area. Fairs have changed a lot over the years and these days Sloe fair Comprises mostly of large mechanical rides with a few traditional stalls dotted about. What ever the circumstances at least one stall or ride must be open on “Sloe Fair ” day else the rights to hold the fair will be lost, in recent history (world war II) the rights were kept by opening a candy floss stall. The fair is much annoyance to the Chichester district council as there is little they can do to develop the land or car park without restricting the operation of the fair, whilst also closing its 2nd biggest car park for up to 4 days per year.
I went out on Tuesday night in the rain to do a reshoot of a photo that i shot last year when i was just learning about night photography, the ride in question although present was not in a position that i could get the same shot or indeed a good one ,add this to the rain and i didn’t even get to take a shot so here is the shot that i took last year.
Enjoy

Vickers Vimy Goodwood Revival ~ Last Flight
The Vickers vimy, a British heavy bomber developed during the First World War, the Vimy was both a successful military and civilian aircraft, flying into the history books on excursions to Capetown, Australia and the first ever flight across the Atlantic (piloted by Alcock and Brown) in 1919. This replica of the original aeroplane performed its last public display flight at on Sunday 20th September at the Goodwood revival 2009. However im sure that was said of the Avro Vulcan at one point so you never know, it left Goodwood airfield bound for Brooklands Museum in Surrey to live out its remaining days.
unfortunately the scheduled flight for the day went of plan and i was in the wrong place as it flew over an hour early over shooting towards the sun on a grey sky making for a not so brilliant picture, none the less its still ok ish.
Enjoy

1929 Alfa Romeo 6c 1750 @ Goodwood Revival 2009… Going Back in time
Well i was sat on a wall up at Goodwood a few hours after the Vulcan had flown over waiting for the “all warbirds” display, that was cancelled so in the end i was waiting for something that wasn’t going to happen. While waiting i managed to get some photo’s of the vimmy vintage aeroplane but also decided to capture some nice cars as they were leaving the revival. Far to often do i see people flocking to photograph ferrari’s, lamborghini’s and other “nice” expensive sports cars many paying little attention to the classics and really that’s what the revival is all about and although its a nice car and i wouldn’t say no to one if it was offered but the aston martin db9 has got a little common around these parts and on sunday almost every 5th car was a db9 (driven by a lot of people who would loved to have posed for a picture) sorry not this time….
So what we have here after some research is a nice example of a 1929 Alfa Romeo 6c 1750 as far as i can tell, this particular model had an engine capacity of 1752cc producing 46bhp with a top speed of 68mph (going about 30 went he went past me).
I have used a colour & black & white image here to show this one, as some of the scenery (traffic cones and car park attendant in yellow jacket) detracts somewhat from the beauty of the car.
Below is a mock up (photoshop edit) of how the car might have looked if i had taken the same photo on film back in the 50′s
And finally we have another photoshop edit of a scene that i captured just outside the main gates at Goodwood circuit of a mobile canteen from world war 2
if it wasn’t for a modern van in the background and a chap not wearing the uniform it would be easy to pass this off as an original photo such was the detail in their re creation of the time.
Enjoy

And Finally 1 last image
30 St Mary Axe, also known as the Gherkin and the Swiss Re Building, is a skyscraper in London’s main financial district, the City of London. It is 180 metres (591 ft) tall, with 40 floors. Its construction symbolised the start of a new high-rise construction boom in London.
This building is visible from most places in London, however the closer you get the harder is to photograph, this shot even on my 10-22mm Lens i still couldn’t get the whole thing in shooting on 10mm is about as wide as it goes but when close up has some distortion effects on the subject hence in this image “The Gerkin” looks more like and egg than a tall building.
This brings an end to a weeks for of Urban exploring or “Ubrbanexing / urb ex” or what ever you want to call it and I hope you have enjoyed this weeks images as much as I have
