Hi Jim,

Check out this web site for dates and venues for the Red Arrows.

If you want to get some decent in air shots I would recommend the Minolta 1.5x teleconvertor. This weighs more than the camera and you can't zoom with it attached, but you can get some good shots.


These two were taken with the aboves combination, they have been resized for the web and so have lost some detail, however they have not been cropped.

Cheers,
Steve

Thanks for the replies. Have you been to the airshow at RAF Leuchars? This would fit my timeframe.

Thank you
Jim

RAF Leuchars is near Fife Scotland a good way from most other airshows in the U.K. It is a good show as RAF organised due to location I have never attended, but might

What is the nature of your visit in September and where else will you be visiting.

Main reason for the trip is to visit family and friends. My wife has been involved in genology and we would like to see the areas of our roots, Sunderland and the North East areas.
Since my hobbies are plane watching and photograpy and I haven't seen the Red Arrows perform I thought I might try to work this in.
I live in Comox and watch the "Snow Birds" practice for two weeks EVERY April.

Jim
