Official Club calendar 2025 – March photo

During 2025 we are presenting the image from the Club calendar in the newsletter for that month, with some details about the picture, including when and where the photo was taken. All the photos in the calendar were taken by Club members.

For March we chose this action-packed picture of BBMF Spitfire IIa P7350 about to touch down on the grass runway at Duxford, which was entered into the calendar photo competition by Andrew Harris.

Andrew tells us: “The photo was taken on Saturday 9th October 2021. Spitfire P7350 had just displayed at the Duxford season finale and was landing in an easterly direction on the grass runway. The lighting conditions were good and I was pleased to capture a sharp image of the Spitfire against a slightly blurred background comprising fields and hedges. The photo was taken on a Nikon D500 DSLR camera using a focal length of 330mm at f/5.6 with an exposure of 1/320. The ISO was 125 and I was using a 200-500mm f/5.6 Nikon lens.”
