29th December 2013 - Near Miss!! by pamknowler

29th December 2013 - Near Miss!!

This was yesterday at Grafham Water - a wonderful arial display when suddenly the plane in the centre swerved over towards the plane on the left. It looked very much like a near miss to me!!

Looks better large

Many thanks to you all for getting Finlay onto the PP yesterday. My little robin was still there so two on PP at once!! What a great way to bring my 365 to a close!!
Wow....that was a close call you captured in the air.

Great display. Grafham water is in my neck of the woods - where are you based?
December 29th, 2013  
Wow, that is a close call! Thankfully all was well controlled in the end. Lovely series of shots

@busylady Thanks Judith. I live in Wellingborough and we were having a lovely drive out in the sunshine looking for old houses but ended up at Grafham.

I'm glad what you captured was a near miss and not an actual hit. I love airshows. Our international airport allows you to buy photographer passes. You get front row a tent and a private view of all the plans before the crowds come. I got some great shot a couple of years ago. I may do it again this year. Thank you for sharing Pam.

Gosh that looks a bit close for comfort!
December 29th, 2013  
Glad it was a near miss. Great that you were poised enough to keep shooting.
December 29th, 2013  
They do look very close!! Great captures!!
December 29th, 2013  
Blimey, near miss I'd say! Look at those beautiful blue skies,

December 29th, 2013  
Just fantastic. Awsome action.
December 29th, 2013  
Wow! What an action capture!perfect timing and focus!
December 29th, 2013  
WOW! Terrific action shot! I wonder if the near-miss was part of the show.
December 29th, 2013  
An excellent journalism series. I don't know if this was a near miss or not, but it sure looks like it is.

@rvwalker Thanks Ross. I think the two yellow planes were training and the third plane was the teacher. The yellow planes were blowing the smoke as they went round and seemed to be following the third plane which never used any smoke. After the above incident they did lots of turns and circles above us and seemd to be following the other plane. They then all flew off into the distance. It was such an odd move by the middle yellow plane - I do think he made a mistake and turned too soon.

Wow, that's some capture
December 29th, 2013  
OMG! What a sight to see!! That must have been terrifying. These are terrific shots, though - you've captured it really well.

Blimey that looks a bit too close for comfort, very well captured though.

Great action collage
December 30th, 2013  
a fav just awesome
December 30th, 2013  
A great capture, it looks like a near miss to me - they surely wouldn't get that close just to add some excitement ! It looks tense enough in the photos.
December 30th, 2013  
I love this Pam, one day to go! Thanks for the support
December 30th, 2013  
Wow! Splendid shot and what a good thing they didn't bump although you would have been there to get the newsworthy shot if they had.
December 30th, 2013  
Good capture. Good that everything was ok
