Re: ID question

I think it's probably N58SQ, which is a 5 Rivers SQ-2.

Re: Camera dealers query.

Just my personal experience, but I wouldn't touch Simply Electronics with the longest bargepole I could find. They took my money and when my camera didn't arrive, they said it wasn't in stock. After this happened a few times, I tried to cancel. It took a *lot* of phone calls and frustration. Yes, th...

Very nice Jamie!

I agree, Mr T. was excellent in his Spit.

I particularly like your head-on B&W one coming in over the trees.

Re: 7D broken again = (

I vaguely remember something about AF points not aligning properly with the 7D and particular lens combos (can't remember which lenses), and that was causing some vertical and horizontal lines. A firmware upgrade fixed it.

Hope they fix your camera in time for Legends Tim!

All the best,
Ashley

Re: Jamie@Duxford 27.05.12

Very nice set there Jamie!

I agree - I like the Spits and the RAF ensign. I wonder how it would look in B&W?

The head-on F16 makes it look very menacing.

Silver aircraft against a blue sky really makes a great contrast, and on reflection, I think the Meteor was my highlight.

Airbase - 13th May 2012

My first time at Airbase. One of the friendliest aircraft collections I've visited. They even dished out some chairs and headsets so you could listen to the intercom for the Shack engine run up. There were several aircraft that you could look an sit in, including the Shack and the Nimrod. http://far...
