2007 Airshows: Duxford autumn show and Rougham airshow.
16th November 2007

Two shows that in 2006 gave good opportunities for photography. Rougham is one of the best places in the UK to get some close action with warbirds and the last Duxford show of the year brings some nice lighting in the afternoon - if the weather obliges. Rougham 2007 was very much a washout with it raining throughout the day and Duxford suffered from cloud (usually at the wrong moment).

Due to a slight misunderstanding, it took Rob Davis two attempts to perform his display but it was worth the wait.

Duxford sometimes lacks variety in it's displays, partly because they have several shows a year and also because of the shrinking number of acts on the circuit. To offset this to some degree, interesting formations are flown. BAF F-16AM, P-51D and Spitfire XVIII.

The final break towards the crowdline was one of the moments of the 2007 airshow season. Where was the sun? Ten minutes later it would have been fine!
