Sigh - my favourite aircraft of all time. What an amazing photo too. You have nailed the tracking again here to perfection.....
Thanks very much. Benji1867 on Instagram if you’re on that platform if you wanna see some more.Sigh - my favourite aircraft of all time. What an amazing photo too. You have nailed the tracking again here to perfection.....
We’re so lucky over here in Europe with the variety of aircraft/operators we get to see fairly regularly. I do love a spitfire, my favourite is MH434, a mark IXb based at Duxford
So as you see, I’m fairly serious with my photography so I need to nail my new pc for that.

Not so many of anything flying around Ireland lately - it seems the primary message here is that aviation is the root cause or our COVID-19 dramas and if it weren't for Evil foreign travel we would have be happier and probably have more kids, more money, less crime, less tax, bigger houses, red cars, etc. etc.
The sound of a Merlin approaching at full tilt sends shivers down my spine - and always will I expect....
Hahaha I’m not sure what Boris’ narrative is, then again I’m not sure he’s sure either. Apologies, for some reason I thought you were American, sorry for that 😂.Not so many of anything flying around Ireland lately - it seems the primary message here is that aviation is the root cause or our COVID-19 dramas and if it weren't for Evil foreign travel we would have be happier and probably have more kids, more money, less crime, less tax, bigger houses, red cars, etc. etc.

Before all this drama I was meant to be visiting Casement to do a magazine piece with the Air Corps, unsurprisingly postponed but I assume it’ll get canned completely.

Technically, I am actually an Anglo-Irish-American! 😀 Born to Irish and American parents - so I have the little blue Book to go with my EU one!
Our Air Corps are getting a bit more organized lately with their PC-9’s. A step up from the Aerial Attack Box Kites previously!! 😀
I remember as a teen hearing this loud sound approaching - clearly multiple engines - I was thinking B-17? B-29? What could it be?
it was 4 Irish Military C-172’s in formation! 😀😀
That must have sounded like power, personified.

It was a windy day also and they were flying into the breeze - it took them ages to go past us!!!

Excellent pictures @benji1867. Quite jealous. Would love a 100-400 L but unfortunately cant afford one...(well wife wont let me)..LOL was lucky to get the 24-105 F4L without telling her how much that was
Excellent shots @benji1867. The spitfire is really sharp with blurred background and prop. You couldn’t ask for better.
This is a flier I was tracking. A bit slower than your one.

Appreciated @Bhuna50, it’s an amazing lens, knocks the spots off the mark one and I got it at a very good price just as they were released.Excellent pictures @benji1867. Quite jealous.

Well I thought it was an Eagle 😂
I do have some shots of eagles - mainly white tailed eagles from the west coast of Scotland. I have never got decent shots of golden eagles or the US bald eagles, but also have some of Ospreys.
