Thank you Gunther (via Des) for these and all of the other photos you have sent. I have visited this museum (the RAF Museum at Hendon) many times to admire these beautiful exhibits, but have often been frustrated by the difficulty in photographing some of them as I would  want. You've captured some nice very images here.

Best wishes
Nigel

Nice pictures.. Looks like a paper model compared to the other aircraft!

Messieurs !
Indeed the beautiful museum is very dimly lit and no sunshine outside ; the extensive use of neon bulbs is not in favour of the colours.
I did not use a tripod on our first journey to England, but long exposure won't help - it is better to look for
an exposure around 1/90 sec and rework the pictures in Lightroom.
Since the museum is sometimes cramped with planes and there are barriers it is not always easy to get a good
shooting position.
Anyway it was very impressive to see the planes that you already knew from Airfix times in the 1970's.
Not always did I look for a total view of a plane but for details.
Of course I already had in mind to get some frames for the forum members.
I fully enjoyed our hour-long museum trip to Collindale /Hendon - a birthday present of my  very patient wife .

viele grüße, Gunther

Considering the very poor lighting conditions you did a superb job with your photography, thank you Gunther for going to so much effort.

Des.
