Combat Warplanes / RAF Photo Competition 2013
« on: December 16, 2013, 03:11:50 PM »
Here are just some of the 1,000 images submitted to the 2013 RAF Photographic Competition. I hope to post more later.
It feels strange that for the first time in over 5 years I was not running the competition but I have to say that my replacement Warrant Officer Gareth Bufton did a truly excellent job. He invited me to the presentations at the RAF Club, London in October and the display was outstanding! The photographic trade within the RAF is very small, only 139 in total, and each year the trade has to fight for its existence. There are a number of Senior Officers that think that anyone can take a photo, but looking at the examples above I think that is totally not true, it takes a professional to take these. I was once told by a very senior officer that it "most be great to do my hobby as a trade", I replied, "Sir I can cook would you like me to cook dinner for you tonight!" My boss looked very mad, however, the senior officer laughed and then shook my hand.
I feel honored to have been the senior photographer and to have worked with truly professional and gifted photographers and it is great to see that the trade ins in "good-hands" for the future years.

I see that 2 flying Hunters in the UK have now teamed up with the Canberra PR.9 XH134 and form the Mid Air Squadron.

Its nice to see that they are using one of my images of the PR.9 I took back in 2006 during your deployment to the Gulf "Ghosts of 39", only one issue, the image is of XH131 and XH134.
May have to tell them before someone else does.
