I had the good fortune to attend the Shadow / X-Air fly-in and barbecue at New Farm, Piddington over the weekend. A really good turnout – I think there were 35 visiting aircraft in total over the course of the day.
Lighting conditions were best described as challenging. Runway 27 was in use, so everything was taking off and landing into the sun, which as I’m sure keen photographers reading this will appreciate, isn’t ideal.
In hindsight, I should probably have made my way up to the other end of the field, but that would have taken me away from the BBQ, and that would be bad :-).
I hope to be back next year somewhat earlier in the day when the sun might be behind me instead…
