We braved ‘Plannit Fannit’ yesterday for the Thanet Air Show. An enjoyable day was had – it was surprisingly well organised, considering it was the first one they’d held there, with a Park & Ride scheme that actually worked, and a nice varied set of aircraft on display (Red Arrows, Sea King, Battle Of Britian Memorial Flight, Navy Lynx, to name a few). It was really refreshing to head back to the car on an open top bus, get into the car, and just drive home – no hassle, no diversions, no traffic jams. Roll on next year.
(Although, if I were to be picky, could we have more shaded areas to sit, please?)
More pictures are in the gallery.
Nice photos.
[picky]A slower shutter speed on the propellor aircraft would have blurred the props and given more of an impression of speed.[/picky]
Agreed. Unfortunately, though, anything slow enough to blur the propellors also resulted in a blurred everything else. Maybe I need to practise my panning
