<p>Yes, it's a very grainy shot, but there's a reason....
Although the event started off as a flying 'evening', it was nearly half past nine when the Snipe took off. Even in July it's getting dark by then, so these shots were taken at an ISO of 3200, hence the grain!
Another gorgeous TVAL replica, the Snipe (c/n 0112) is powered by a genuine Bentley BR.2 and is in the markings of 70sqn, B-flight, Bickendorf, Germany, March-April 1919.
