A Close Shave - a photo on Flickriver

A Close Shave

             A quick step back in time to my second photo-workshop at Old Warden Airfield , home of the Shuttleworth Collection . After a morning lecture followed by a photo shoot in just about the darkest hanger there ( at least a Comet , Spitfire , Lysander , Chipmunk and many more were there ) we had lunch and then out onto the airfield with the Sopwith Camel followed by a performance of the Tiger Moth in the air just for us photographers . 
Indeed it is a Tiger Moth doing a flying display especially for the eleven of us on a photo workshop at Old Warden Airfield home of the Shuttleworth Collection . We had a grandstand view to get our shots of the Tiger Moth doing it's thing - in fact we were a good few metres into the airfield on the air-side side of the fence !! I had a good few keeper shots but there were at least as many if not more deletes - the art of panning still eludes me !!
The aircraft was originally T6818 in RAF service and was built by Morris Motors at Cowley, Oxford in 1944. Little is known of its wartime service but after the war it was registered as G-ANKT.
It was acquired by the Collection in 1966 and was rebuilt by two former engineering apprentices at Old Warden, using many components from two other Tiger Moths.
It has been completely overhauled and re-covered and is finished in the colours of the Royal Air Force Central Flying School Aerobatic Team, showing K2585.
If you get a chance to go on one of Darren Harbar's Aviation  Photo-Workshops , It would well be worth grabbing the chance and take advantage of the opportunity !!
