Cold day Duxford

Easter Sunday I had planned to meet up with one of my oldest workmates, a great friend Robbie Scott (who I was involved in the UFO hoax with! http://ngbsfxmodels.blogspot.com/ ) we spent the day at the Imperial war museum at Duxford.
The big advantage of going to Duxford when its a cold day is that there are less people about and that makes viewing and photography so much easier, I have had an idea for images of the memorial to all the US airmen and aircraft lost during WW2, and this visit the clouds and lack of crowds was perfect for the shot I had imagined... I also did some HDR shots and an interesting available light, long exposure shot up the tailpipe of the F4J Phantom.

Hi Nigel.

Nice shots of the "Toom" at Duxford. Thought you may be interested to know I worked up this Aeroplane in the States and was a member of the support crew who brought all the J's to the UK.

That sounds like an interesting job you had Chris, I have always had a particular love of the Phantom, its both ugly and beautiful at the same time!
