June 18th, 2006 : Tornado GR4s over East London

Tornado GR4s over East London
EOS 10D + 70-300mm USM IS. 1/1000 F9.5 280mm.

Trooping the Colour shinanegins.

The flightpath was straight over my flat in east London. I saw the Spitfires escorting a Lancaster through my balcony doors, but my camera wasn’t to hand, and besides it had the 50mm stuck to its face.Thinking there might be more to come I wacked the 70-300mm on the front of my 10D and hovered by the window. I wasn’t dissapointed - Tornados, Jaguars, a couple of AWACs craft and the Red Arrows all flew over, about 45 seconds between each formation.

    Yup and I even know how to use apostrophes.

    Can’t remember the last time I felt like I achieved something, though. No wait. Skated a half in Berlin in 54 mins. Fast, like the old days.

    Thanks for the comment. Now I have another to-do for this website. CSS for comments.
