Just returned from the (small) airshow at Rougham Airfield today, and it was great to see Sally B finally displaying again after all the engine problems. Weather was excellent as well. Photo PP is rushed as wanted to get one photo online tonight and let people know she's flying again. 8)
Edit - Believe she did fly in May, (I read differing information earlier) but can't edit title now!

Glad to see she's flying again, did catch her at Duxford in May this year, but she was grounded again shortly after that

Thanks for the comments, and thanks for changing the title Photosguy. She should be flying at Duxford (American Air Day) this Friday. Will aim to get the other photos from Rougham uploaded, but I'm not sure if it's lack of time or lack of PS skills which is delaying me.
Prop spin is just down to setting the shutter speed manually, something like 1/200 of a second, but experiment with slower and faster shutter speeds. I'm still trying to improve my technique, as I usually suffer from camera shake - guess I need to do some more gym work on the arms!
