15. A Shuttleworthy Summer

Eleven Spitfires, a MiG-15 evening display, and a Shuttleworth show that somehow topped the Festival of Flight in some eyes. In this episode, Dave, Bradley, and Keiran unpack the Shuttleworth Summer Air Show, held on the 25th of July with a strong Spitfire anniversary theme running through the day.The trio dig into the standout aircraft and how the display team tied every formation back to the Spitfire theme, and why Old Warden's backdrop keeps making familiar types feel new again.There's also a look behind the photos: post-processing techniques including mask-based dodge and burn, Lightroom's AI Denoise for those high-ISO evening shots of the MiG, and a "Band of Brothers" preset built for reenactors. Before all that, the team also touch on the recent Comet mishap at Old Warden and Shuttleworth's plans to rebuild it, plus a rundown of the busy airshow season still to come, from the Shuttleworth Military Show through to Athens Flying Week.Tune your ears in for eleven Spitfires, one gorgeous MiG, and a lot of hard-won editing tips.Dave: @Miljets_UKKeiran: @FlybyCode (Instagram) | Keiran Wilkinson Photography (Facebook) | keiranwilkinson.comBradley: Thrust Aviation Imagery
