Awesome :)

BTW, Fox, I am not sure if I sent you some Hurry images. If not, let me know if you like some, I'll mail them, and would be delighted if you can use them or post them :)

The bigger the better, - the more, the merrier!
I'll mail you some shots of mine tomorrow, and please post them if you have the time! All free of course.
I have one of a Hurypilot taxiing, and another one of a Hurry in the final approach, then some stills and finally the marriage, - a Hurry and Spit together.

Hi Frank,

Yes they were all taken at the first show at Duxford this year. There are more images from that show that I will put up from time to time, but the next event for me is Shuttleworth on Sunday which should provide a few different subjects.

Never know whether to post a different thread for each aircraft - don't want to hog the BBS, but a few have said they like the photos, hence the three different posts.

Anyway, here's a Wildcat, or as it currently painted - a Martlet - Excuse the size, but someone said they preferred the larger images :aok

Emils were still in service at the time of the Hurry II.
Unless I am wrong and they were already all dead at the time.
But there were Emils on the eastern front in 1941 late, or?

you do such great camera work Fox.... it is a shame there are almost no 190d's flying that you can snap a picture of. : (

i'd give anything for a 190 d9 picture like the one of the wildcat

Hey Scholzie:
"But really Angus. The Hurri could never match the 109E in performance."
HurryI vs 109E, not much of a question.

Hurry II vs 109E, well,,,,,

Climb, - close, 109 better?
Top speed - close, 109 better?
Dive - 109 by far
Acceleration, - 109 by far
Roll rate, - Hurry better?
Turn - Hurry quite much better
Firepower, - Hurry has quad Hizooka
Endurance, - similar?
Durability - Hurry
Ordnance - ?

Of course the 109 is basically quicker, but for an Emil to mix it seriously with Hurry II it is dicey...

But was I right? Were there not Emils on the eastern front in 1941?

Just curioius, what kind of camera and lense are you using? really nice pics....

That shot was taken using a Canon 10D with a 24-70L lens. Most of my ground work tends to be with that combination. Shots in flight are usually taken with a 100-400L lens.

I tend to shoot in RAW mode but if the light is particularly good (and I am running out of space on my various cards) I will drop back to JPEG mode

Always tend to set the SS at 1/125 for in flight work and work around that for the best aperture/ISO combination.
