Bournemouth Air Festival: Day 3...

Day three and it is perfect flying weather. Only the wispiest of cloud in the sky, and what materialised evaporated in the heat of a late August afternoon. It was the last performance of the Red Arrows at this year's festival, and although I still used a super-telephoto lens to pick out tight groups of aircraft, I also used a telephoto zoom to create a different feel to some of the images - lens ghosting and all.

The Royal Marines also performed for the record crowd of 404,000, showing just how they deal with a terrorist threat. I hope to add more images from their display in a summary post about the festival, once it is all over.
