I had a spare hour in Yeovilton a couple of weeks ago so I decided to top up my shots of the Carrier Deck and Corsair. The Fleet Air Arm Museum's a fine example of accessibility and well presented exhibits. The lighting conditions are challenging for photography but they yield some very special results.

When you're in the UK it's well worth adding to your list of places to visit.

Great photos, You made excellent use of the light. Something about the Gannet, such a unique airplane. :)

Wow, great shot ! Love the light...

Do you use a tripod or at least a monopod to make these ?

Thanks

Michel, yes I used a tripod since many of the exposures were around 30 seconds in order to maintain a low iso rating and a decent depth of field.
