Little Gransden Airshow

Post by Kevin Farnell »

Went along to one of my favourite airshows at Little Gransden, last Sunday.
Always delightful and proceeds go to 'Children in Need'.
The weather started out somewhat 'damp', but the strong wind (often in excess of 20 Kts) soon pushed away the clouds to leave a warm (if windy) sunny day.
Pilots from near and far battled the wind to put on a superb display, hopefully captured by my photos which can be found at

Sorry I can't post directly, but at 1000 x 670 pixels, they are outside that allowed by the forum.

I'd like to say a big thank you to the organisers and pilots involved, for a wonderful day out.

Regards

Kevin

Thanks, Peter. I have many, many more, but I use my 'Virgin website' allocation for posting and am limited to 55Mb. I had to delete some previous posts in order to include these (reason why I can't also post 800x600 pixel photos directly to the forum). Hopefully Virgin are to increase the allocation to 200Mb in the near future.

Regards

Thanks, Rich.

Are there any particular types you would like to see?
As said, I use my meagre Virgin Website allowance to post the shots. This is now full, so I'll need to delete older posts so that I can add new. I also have a lot of shots from the weekends Duxford show.
Give me a couple of days (and an idea of anything particular you would like to see) and I'll do my best to include them.

Regards

Kevin

Why not use Photobuket

I have well over a thousand on there and my allocation is only partly used :)

Hi Kevin,

Nothing in particular mate - but Photobucket or Picasa or Webshots etc will hopefully give you loads of photo hosting space for sharing them all :)

Cheers
