In the artists words:

This was one of those ‘right place, right time’ shots. I knew the Red Arrows were due to fly past Henley during the regatta. I was entertaining guests at Phyllis Court Club but I had half an eye on the scheduled time for the flight. I had packed my camera with an appropriate lens and snuck off from my guests with 15 minutes to spare to try to find a decent spot.

I found a slightly raised area that meant I could shoot over the heads of others. I set my camera up with a few minutes to go. Some of the others waiting for the flight started to murmur that flight had been put back a few minutes. I had noticed my battery was only 70% full so thought I might quickly change it when I heard a low rumble coming from down the river. It could have been some old boat but it got louder and then suddenly the Red Arrows appeared over the top of a line of trees in front of me. Reflexively I raised the camera and fired off a bunch of shots at 30 frames per second. Once they went past I spun around and got several more.

I had about 10 shots where the Red Arrows fully filled the frame. Apparently it is rare to see the 10th plane in the formation, he often sits to one side.

We have blown this up very large and it is about a square metre.
