Hello,

Well, you seem happy to switch from Eos 10D to 40D What set of
lenses do you use there ?
What do you think of their timetable ? Can one trust it ? I mean this
one :

As I come regularly to Great-Britain to attend some airshows held on
week-ends, I am considering staying there a whole week between two
events, for example Duxford Flying Legends and Fairford RIAT. How is
the activity during the early days of July in some places in Wales, or
west England ?

The 10D is a fantastic camera but I will probably never touch it again now
that I have the 40D. The timetable you quote is of no value to spotters
even when aircraft are not shown on it, it can be quite busy. Any time of
the year could give you a good day but remember that both Wales and the
English mountains have a lot of rain and the rain also can fall at any time
(and does). My sac at the moment contains a 28-90, 100-200 and a 300mm.
Searching for low fly areas will find you many spots to try.

I know that this is a strange request but your excellent pictures drive
me to at least ask.

It would seem that you are almost hanging on the side of a cliff and when
the planes do a left bank you almost seem to be above them. I am in awe
of your skill.

Now for my request.

Would it be possible for you in conjunction with another skilled
photographer
to stage the following shot.

Have the other photographer on the valley floor shooting up at your
position
so that we can get a feel of your position on the cliff face. Lots of
extra points for catching a plane between the lower photographer and you.

Thank you for all of your excellent pictures and the enjoyment I get from
them.
