RAF Scampton will be known as Horizon park https://horizon-park.co.uk/ which does mention aircraft restoration - whether its going to be flying condition or as a static display is another matter time will tell

You can own and use the most expensive gear in the world, but if you have no idea how to get the bets from it then why bother......

Its all about the person behind the camera.........

Battery grip is a must I think, but don't go with a UV filter............

That's why we now come off the A1 at the next junction (Coddington).......

one option would be to give yourself a budget, go to a dealer who has a range of makes in store and have a play....

No point spending loads a good camera body only to be able to afford to put a milk bottle on the front, its all about compromise.........camera bodies are replaced or upgraded by the makers more often than the lens............ I still use my Sony A700 that I bought 11 years ago, only recently have I...

Elterwater, thanks for your reply, that’s just the sort of info I’m after. I’ve been looking at a Fuji XT1 which secondhand is reasonable, but I imagine the lenses are expensive. You may be able to assemble an outfit by buying second hand gear from these two places that I have used in the past, wit...

thanks for the road works info Howard, we now come off at the next junction at Coddington and come in from the other end, so much easier that negotiating the roundabout

I always use the centre focussing point, if you want to recompose so that the aircraft has space to fly into, then zoom out to give more space all round then crop.

Stunning images, been a long time since I saw an F4 in the air.........

Keep looking at London Camera exchange, but have yet to buy from them.............

great pics, always been a fan of the F16

Great video, been a long time since I saw one flying......................shame we cant have one on the airshow circuit............

We have only paid (give or take)£25 for a year..................

that's a fair amount I think................

Re the afterburner issue.........

Cant they just modify the throttle gate to stop the throttle going into the afterburners..............

That's the price I paid from Jessops, it came with 2 free 20 sheet packs of Canon A4 paper too.

I normally use A4 sized plain and different finish photo paper from the bottom tray with no problems, changing the stock when needed. When using the duplex function to print doubles sided on letters to family etc with pictures in, we don't get any smudging. All in all, its an excellent printer, I bo...

I have a 5 colour Canon Pixma ip7250, very impressive and not too expensive.


Its also wirless and with the Canon app on the phone, you can send pictures from around the world and print it at home

sounds like a great idea to me Howard.............

. As always with VTTS, none of what they do makes a lot of sense and really, a bit of open dialogue would go a long, long way. Quite why their thinking and planning for fast taxying is a state secret is beyond my comprehension. Fair enough if they were a private organisation, but they're absolutely...

I think the jet itself is horrible too................

The trust never have been and never will be transparent, (remember the incident where she got diverted to Coningsby with an undercarriage problem, they refused to say what the issue was) they work best behind closed doors and only communicate when they need money for `the peoples airplane`.

He has no answers to the questions, either that or he is looking up clever wording in the dictionary to try and confuse us all...

well, he is not going to admit online that it is definitely all gone pear shaped.
