Niger Government 732 @ Lasham
Here's a nice rarity, Niger's 737-200. Just turned up at Lasham for a bit of a service and cambelt change with ATC. Apologies for the awful iPhone shot, but I'm kinda at work.

Re: Single or Dual ?
The two-seat Hunter is a much more 'complete' design than the single-seat variants IMHO.
Canberras with the earlier bubble canopy look better than the offset single-seat jobbie, too.

Sonic Boom over Aberystwyth!
Anyone know who's been operating over West Wales today? F-15s, Tornados or Typhoons?
It was mighty impressive!

Re: First car

Still got it, though it's in storage waiting for me to give it some love, time and of course money.

Or this one m Yes, because I would trust every person who uploads a picture from the Canon website rather than the actual product. Avoid. Jack. Would you rather a picture of a sealed box?

Re: For Sale - Canon 70-300mm F4-5.6 IS USM
For what it's worth, I sold my absolutely mint copy for £210 - one year ago to this day in fact. They are for sale new from kerso on eBay - one of the most reputable sellers going - for £275. Not a single one has sold for more than £215 on eBay in the past month, most are in the £170-£190 region.

Re: Gliding
Obvious question, but how do you know how far to stray from the airfield? Surely the lift from thermals is quite hard to judge? You take an educated gamble! You can tell (with varying degrees of success) where the energy is by reading the sky - cumulus clouds are a good marker of thermals, and if y...

Re: Gliding
I've had flying lessons before and have pretty good hand/eye co-ordination - what's the likely/average time to go solo? I soloed after 21 aerotows when I was 16. If you're learning on a winch (it's about a third of the price per launch of an aerotow) then I think 40ish would be a reasonable estimat...

Been gliding since last summer and without exaggeration I can say that taking it up has been one of the best decisions of my life. A thoroughly rewarding and remarkably cheap hobby. Where do you fly Ben? I'm currently flying from Midland Gliding Club on the Long Mynd in Shropshire, but I'll probabl...

So, I think it's safe to say that all of us here have a bit of love for aviation...so have any of you ever considered giving gliding a go? It's probably the cheapest and most enjoyable way of getting into flying, where you can keep yourself aloft for hours at a time, climb to airliner altitude, or e...

Re: Camera angle feedback required JP Display
Camera on the wing looking in is always a cool shot. Here's a pretty poor quality still from a GoPro on the wing of a Discus I'm flying: http://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/1378049_10202032406348883_131796765_n.jpg Another good one is under the nose, looking forward.

I am happy to be in what you believe to be the minority. However, I am still of the opinion that the poster should furnish details in the first instance.
