On Saturday, 13th June, the volunteers of Classic Flight at Coventry Airport arranged a 1940s/50s style photo shoot with a bit of a twist. It started with a H&S/Parish Notice briefing and as there were no barriers, we had one volunteer to two photographers who were there purely to keep an eye on us and made sure we did not stray into unauthorised areas and allowed us any photo opportunities we required. Apart from the jets, there was access to virtually all the collections aircraft that were present both inside and out. We spent the morning having a wander around photographing anything outside and inside the hanger. Lunch was a bacon buttie, seems the norm for a photo shoot now, from Kates Kabin I think it was, and after lunch came the twist with glamour models who were posing in period costumes with the aircraft as a backdrop.
A thoroughly enjoyable day out in the sunshine with an excellent opportunity to photograph not only aeroplanes but models as well and an excellent start by all the volunteers to what will hopefully will become a regular event. |
