Bournemouth Air Festival

The Blades

The Blades are a four-man team formed of former Red Arrows pilots.

Exposure 1/200sec, f/14, ISO 100, exposure bias -0.33

Knowing that fact helps you understand why some of the manoeuvres seem familiar. Some of the moves are straight out of the Red Arrows playbook.

Exposure 1/200sec, f/14, ISO 100, exposure bias -0.33
Exposure 1/200sec, f/10, ISO 100, exposure bias -0.33
Exposure 1/200sec, f/11, ISO 100, exposure bias -0.33

Unlike the Red Arrows’ famous heart, the Blades do the butterfly – which you can’t do in a jet.

Exposure 1/200sec, f/14, ISO 100, exposure bias -0.33
Exposure 1/200sec, f/18, ISO 100, exposure bias -0.33
Exposure 1/1250sec, f/4, ISO 100, exposure bias +0.33
Exposure 1/200sec, f/16, ISO 100

Right, that’s enough showy aerobatics for now. Let’s head back to where we started with another training plane.

    The Breitling Wingwalkers flew over Knaphill today (29th August) around 3.15, probably on the way from Dunsfold to Cardiff, but I didn’t have my camera at the ready 😦

      I now have this image of the planes flying over with the girls still on top, reading newspapers…
