If you can't beat them...

Red Arrows

We learned that the Red Arrows were going to pass Penrith En Route from Blackpool Air Show to the Edinburgh Tatoo.  They were scheduled to pass at 5:52.   This shot was taken at 5:51:43, 17 seconds early - poor time keeping.

We positioned ourselves on a hill to the north of the town.  Unfortunately this meant the shots were contra jour.  I am not good at tracking a moving subject and managed 42 shots on burst as they passed.  To give an idea of speed they were scheduled to leave Blackpool at 5:42  In case anybody is wondering they flew in two groups a 5 and a 4 so no chance of them all together.
