It has been a while since I have visited this site due to the frustration trying to post images (same size as posted to other sites without issue) and the slowness of the site so thought it was time to try again.

Last weekend we had the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) just 8 miles from where I live so I found a site where you can pay to park and view and even though you do not get to see the ground display you pay just £15 for a site where the car is next to you, full facilities close to hand and many like minded photographers and to top it all the air show happens right in front / overhead.

I went on the Friday when we had a mixed bag of weather, very bright sunshine creating a nasty heat haze then clouded over as thunderstorm passed by with some rain that lasted 15 min then back to sunshine and some cloud so a real photographic challenge with good photo opps.

I used the superb D500 with the small and light 300mm PF lens and sometimes the 1.4 convertor and apart from the haze issues I am really pleased with the images.

Brilliant photos Ian, a work colleague was down there & she said it was a great show!

Any shots of the Airbus A400's at all, she thought one was flying
