Some absolutely cracking images there Kieran! Nicely caught - Guessing some from FRIAT? Hope you enjoyed your first show

That 495th F-35A departure shot is a belter! Well caught.

Thank you! Friday - Monday was FRIAT and Thursday was P&V West

Thanks for sharing these, another great selection of RIAT shots.

I was hoping to make it to RIAT this year but timing just wasn't great..... looks like I missed out. Some amazing images there, kudos to you

What focal length were these generally taken at?

Matt - if you click on an image it will bring up the Flickr page with shooting details. Hope that helps.

Superb set, nice and sharp, lovely camera work, thanks for sharing,

Amazing set, but that Lancaster shot, wow...

Yes indeed!! Amazing set!

Great set of shots for those who couldn’t attend. Thanks for sharing them.

Wow!!!!.

Well taken, heat-haze dealt with, super cropping, sufficient PP. & great selection...all provides for a most enjoyable viewing experience.
