I am absolute beginner and this is my first air show. I am equipped (after a long saving period :-) ),with Canon EOS 450D, 18-55 mm f3.5-5.6, a Canon prime lens 60mm f2.8, and a zoom lens 55-250 f4-5.6. I know, not the best lenses (apart form the 60 mm) but this is my first time and will see how it goes. You are right about the weather and in England we have all seasons in one day (mind you at the moment it is pretty hot 25 C, well it is very hot for us :-) ). As far as I know there are no restrictions on entry but it is not free, parking is free. Besides, you also need another entrance ticket to a special place where you can get close to the runway. At 56 GBP per person (not cheap when u consider my wife and 2 more kids :-) and a compact camera for the boy and a binocular for the girls :-) ). Hope it is worth it. Well, armed with these and your tips I should get 1 or 2 pictures right :-), thanks again. HI,

I was all prepared to drag way too much equipment including a tripod or monopod, lenses, filters and lots of other gear but instead took a chance and just the suggested lenses. It was much less to carry and worked out just fine. I was reluctant to take an umbrella but it came in very useful when all of a sudden the weather changed and there was a torrential downpour. It was basically a grey overcast sky and at the end of the day my faced glowed like a cherry. Don't forget the sunscreen. Thanks for the great tips.
