Re: Vulcan XH558 to leave Doncaster, possible ferry flight
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

Re: New equipment.
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.........

Re: Recommend older but still good kit for a beginner sub £4
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............

Re: Recommend older but still good kit for a beginner sub £4

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...

Re: What type of AF points to use for airshows?
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.

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...

. 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.
