Avro Lancaster 'Phantom of the Ruhr'

I went to the Duxford Battle of Britain air display on Sunday and took my new lens for an outing, although I didn't get quite as many keepers as I would have liked, but once I get used to handling it I think things will improve.

Anyway here are a few of the Lancaster (big pics):

Re: Avro Lancaster 'Phantom of the Ruhr'

Really nice set of images Ken, right amount of prop blur and of course exposure always a bit difficult against the sky. Well done.

Does anyone know what the little 'aerial like' protusions are on the rear 'stabilisers' (vertical part of tail plane) of the Lancaster?

Those guys flying in those things in the war must have been scared er... very scared when the 109's came swarming in. No armour, just luck whether you took a hit or not...and trying to get out if it went down, unbelievable.

Re: Avro Lancaster 'Phantom of the Ruhr'

Thanks Phil & BC

I can't tell you guys how excited I get when I'm there watch/photographing them, I'm sure this is why I end up with not as many keepers as I do at motor sport events.

It's the sounds as well... P51 Mustang in a dive, full throttle is just wonderful
