Although I have a wander around AirSpace from time to time, I don’t do much photographing as nothing changes. I though I’d rectify that today and make the effort. There was wall to wall sunshine when I went in and it was quite light inside but gradually it got darker during the morning, the main lights were on, and when I came out, Duxford was on the edge of a snow storm to the east that was heading north.

Usual set up with the camera. Tripod, shutter release cable, ISO set at 100, flash off and aperture priority in low double figures to keep exposure times down a bit. RAW. As it was getting darker I had the exposure bias dialed up to +1 and +2 EV. This gave exposure times of 30 seconds and just as long to write to card. Lens used 11-18mm and 18-200mm

08 Seconds, +0.3EV, F16

Nice pics, thanks.

PS: Does anyone recall how many of 'the suspended' still have their engines fitted?

IIRC the Mossie doesn't, how about the jets?

Nice pictures. I've not been to Duxford for a number of years and have not seen this new hanger. I really must make the effort in 2010.

Very nice - especially starting with the RE.8 :)

I had a quick look inside AirSpace a few weeks ago and took some photos (on film, not yet processed) of the RE.8. Am I right in thinking it's been moved???

From memory whilst we were volunteering to prep the aircraft for the cables I believe the CF-100 has its engines, so does the Canberra, but I am not 100%. The CF-100 was very complete and when first inspected before restoration before prep for airspace it was just as when the pilot had switched off after taxiing back to park up!
