The best visitor of the year at Glasgow so far in my opinion as this Tanzanian ATR42 came through on a Ferry Flight heading to Canada and fortunately it Parked at a very nice angle for a night shot.

The Leuchars Airshow of 2008 was a disaster with the cloud level about 500 feet so it ruined the Show and cancelled nearly all of the Displays but this year was very different and the weather could not have been better.

Skies were clear all day and the temperture reached a comfortable 72F in the afternoon so not what would generally be expected on the East Coast during September and it certainly made up for the big disappointment of 2008 when the Vulcan Bomber that so many people had came to see failed to lift off due to the very poor visibility.

Leuchars is difficult to shoot the displaying aircraft as it is into the sun if you enter the Airfield so it can be hard going and as a result I have never been inside preferring instead to try my luck from outside the perimeter fence.

Finding angles to shoot with the sun behind is difficult other than on the Beach end where you can shoot Landers on short finals but that is not what I want to do at an Airshow I would rather be in the centre and try from where you have a better view of the action.

All of the photos below are shot at long distance with the majority being 400mm and cropped a little, this angle was more what I was looking for especially to shoot the Vulcan so I hope you find them of interest to view.

My next additions will be in a couple of weeks unless unless I catch something good locally and next time I will be including lots of photos from the Fairford Airshow taken in July 2009 so please look in again soon and I hope to have more new ones here on this page to view.

After a long layoff of 2 months I am bringing my Web Site pretty much up to date with the addition of 78 new photos from Glasgow, Prestwick and Edinburgh that I have shot over this Summer.

This is turning out to be the coldest Winter in about 20 years and that is generally okay for picture taking but unfortunately it has been clouding over almost every day giving very little sunshine and as a result I have not been visiting the usual haunts during this very quiet period.

Having a little more time to spend I am in the process of preparing another addition of photos this time from the Leuchars Airshow back in September so these will be added isome time in January.
