People get wound up about low light and noise. I prefer the classic approach of f/2 or so, ISO 100 and a bit of technique. All these shots were taken with the camera on the "P" setting at ISO 100. They were handheld and I was taking a lot of pictures to get the atmosphere after the airshow, when the old 'planes are put back in the hangers. BTW, to get the pictures at slow shutters speeds you need to watch what people do. In all of these shots the 'planes were moved slowly forwards, then backwards until in the right place. The pictures were taken as they paused before going in the opposite direction.
Flash at 1/60th merely to show what flash looks like out in the open and that it was night (about 9.45 pm). The 'plane is a 1909 Blèriot Type XI - pretty obvious anyway. Early that evening it had been flying, which isn't bad for nearly 100 years old.
