Only a couple of 'in service' examples; I've found most of them in the museums, but 'too late' with the time, decent camera (and not needing a budget for film), and information on what was flying when, etc...... before they were retired..... my biggest regret probably is not catching this in 'proper...

Secondly, a shot from Armed Forces Day in 2012, with the Red Arrows performing in Llandudno Bay. It was one of my favourite displays as I simply watched the majority of the performance and enjoyed it for the skill and precession, with the added atmosphere of a general public audience around me who ...

Maybe they could park it on the roof of the new hotel 😋 :-) There is a Lufthansa 747-200 in Speyer, Germany, which is mounted on an angle 'on stilts' - it can be seen from a fair distance, and is an innovative way of displaying such a large aircraft - they have a caged section so you can walk out o...

Thanks for the replies; this comment "They used to show the battery level in my 70D, but they are fixed at 63% in my 7DII and 5DIV - even when they are 10 secs away from being too flat to keep the camera powered up" is what I was concerned about.... but you probably get used to pre-emptive...

Do the 3rd-party batteries provide 'battery usage' data on the camera screen icon, please? I'd seen reports when they first came out that only Canon ones would indicate the usage.

Thanks
