Flying Legends Saturday 15th July Leeds East Airport (Former RAF Church Fenton)
These are pictures I took, really struggled with the wind, rain and my camera auto-focus going completely out of focus at the wrong moment, but you get a feel of the 3 hours of the flying display in terible conditions, we had thunder, lighting, monson rain etc.

I've done lots of things in my life, including professional photography. My advice would be to never, ever use auto-focus for an aircraft in flight. :o)
It will come with practise. I used to bulk load 35mm film into cassettes and would be happy to to get one good pic per roll.
While not technically perfect they are, for the most part, thrilling. Thanks so much for sharing - it has been my desire to attend a Flying Legends show for decades as Warbirds are my passion. Good stuff!

Yes this was the first time at a airshow with this camera and lens, in past I also took thousands of 35mm slides.
The regural airshow photographers all were using longer lens (than my 70-250mm) 400mm or 600mm.
I was stood on a bench and it was quite windy also.
