Looking good Graham.

That fast stop on the runway the King Air does is really quite something, no?

Another vote for the Typhoon strobe shot. Sea Vixen is nice with the dark skies.

I second that - the Sea Vixen and Typhoon strobe shot are ma favourite picks, I'd add the landing King Air as well. Great results with your 400mm prime lens! I need to slab on the extender to my 300/4 prime lens and see how it works.

300mm F4 with a 1.4x on works lovely, ive used my brothers combo - results are just as good as the 400mm.

Love that Typhoon shot with the strobe and vapour Cheers

Also like that underside of the sea vixen with the dark sky - nice work Clap

UTC Typhoon and Vixen get the nod from me mate!

A fixed 400mm must take some getting used to but I think you've accomplished it. All we need now is blue skies for a show... Unsure/Confused
