In photo No.8 , you can see the modified manifold giving only five on the exhaust stacks , a question recently asked in the forum .

Posted: Mon Oct 29, 2012 4:41 pmAmazing photos, such sharp details, and it's so great to get up so close and personal through your lens. Thanks very much for posting Gavin!
That one with Auckland city is great especially.
And look how close those props are to the fuselage in the engine run up photos! Wow! What a machine.

Posted: Mon Oct 29, 2012 8:40 pmYes enjoyed the video too - deeply impressed with the piloting of that Vampire; it was rock steady on the wing of the Mossie, no mean feat with a jet.
Posted: Mon Oct 29, 2012 9:20 pmIt did take us a while to get together, we had the Spitfire flying at 210mph to make things easier for the pilots and me and got their eventually.
Doug flew nice and smooth so we got the job done.
Can't post any other Mossie photos for the time being but some of them are very nice, so the sooner the magazines get their jobs done the better :-)

Posted: Tue Nov 20, 2012 8:05 pmOne of the most exciting times of any photo shoot for me is the initial join up.
You often get to see what the enemy "may have" or "not seen" as a WW2 fighter approaches with a huge over take speed.
Am going to have to slow down quite a bit next year and this experience will be burned into my memory forever.

Thank you very very much for posting these, I've seen quite a few of your photo's on facebook and there's been a few posted in "The Peoples Mosquito" group on there! (which I'm part of!)
They are absolutely stunning and keep up the excellent work!
John!

The shot above is how it came out of the camera and almost looks B+W, the aeroplane was backlit and was worried the photo would not come out at all but luckily it did.
Posted: Fri Nov 23, 2012 7:37 amOne thing you may be able to tell us Gavin , the tires , example Spitfires tires last around 30 landings , now it would not be cheap , custom made warbird tires ? another regular and super expense we don't think off .
