Spitfire Photography Workshop Hosted by Darren Harbar

This photography day is designed for those who are already competent with a camera, but it can equally be fun for entry level users and can be fun for compact camera owners too.

There are no difficult photographic challenges during the day, just lots of specially set up opportunities to capture images you just won’t get anywhere else. The day is themed around The Shuttleworth Collection genuine Supermarine Spitfire Mk V (AR501), and you spend the entire day getting up close and personal to this historic airframe.

Darren Harbar ensures that you get some fantastic photographic opportunities by managing the access to allow all attendees to get a wide range of images, including period re-enactors to pose with the aircraft. You need not even have a camera to enjoy this day, as you get up close and personal to the aircraft and so long as you are within weight limitations and can access the aircraft unaided, then you get to sit in the cockpit as part of your day!

There’s even a talk by a current Spitfire pilot and a presentation on this particular aircraft’s fascinating WWII history. The ultimate day for fans of the Supermarine Spitfire, and you even get lunch supplied! The event is limited to 22 people, which ensures it remains a personal day and allows everyone to get the access they desire.
