The lens was a Canon EF 100-300 usm 4.5-5.6 2nd hand off ebay, when the Airbus is circling even 100mm is too long so you should be fine, saying that we were under the flight path at the industrial estate so quite a bit closer than if you are actually inside the airshow.
I did feel a bit inferior as most lenses were L series and at least a foot long, great if you need to see the colour of the pilots eyes

If you guys don't mind me asking, what sort of budget is needed to get this sort of kit? I really like the clarity of these pics and amateur photography is something I'd really like to get into. PM me if you don't want to post on here. Cheers, Dave.

You could get the same results from an earlier Canon 350D for upto a couple of hundred quid less, mind you the 400D prices are coming down. Thats my first ever airshow with an SLR camera but I read loads on the forums to get the best settings, have done a couple of rallies though, practice makes perfect.

That is a beautiful photo! I have worked only a few hundred yards away from the runway for the last 10 years and get see them practicing for a week or so before the show as well as show week. When I first saw XH588 fly last week (if memory serves) I was awestruck but is was simply phenomenal today! The pictures don't do it justice at all (sorry ). Strange how the Vulcan has all the old blokes outside going giddy like little schoolgirls
