Thanks Ian
PM returned.

Lovely colours and clarity.
Hope we are as fortunate at Strumpshore or Ranworth over the next fortnight.

Corker! So sharp I can't even see a back-seater?

Had swifts and swallows over the Wolds at the new house.
Swallows low, fast with their terrain radar, Swifts high-up flashing round.
Great to see.

Nigel, Monty Don’s dog, has gone to the great kennel in the sky.

I read Monty's book earlier in the year. He devoted a chapter to each of his many dogs, almost as though gardening was a secondary theme, yet Nigel was a continual theme throughout. Sad loss, as those being a pet owner will know.

Aye, - he picked a fine time to leave us...

Very nice.
Great to see the profile of the futuristic TSR2 against the futuristic design building.

Happy belated Birthday Bob.

Indeed, - sadly however, in mercenary terms, wholly understandable.

Simply superb
A set showing something not often visible.
The downwash blizzard whiteout silhouette is a corker for me.

Interesting - yes Interested - No As a dedicated Canon user for some 30+ years, I've retained what I wanted through, and into DSLR spec. For my style and genre of photography, the 14-16 fps of the 1DX Mk2, coupled to the ISO handling for wildlife and sports is superb. The L series of glass gives a f...

What a selection!

Well, sadly after re-reading this thread and sensing the negativity shown, it's hardly surprising that there has been no interest or posting for 3 months from 17th Sep to 17th Dec. I fear in sum, it's done and dusted. A valiant attempt (see what I did there for the aviation theme)? Bury the thread /...

Yep, if Carlsberg ever did an award for the best Axalp image, you'd be forever drinking free lager for No3 alone...!
Great set.

Fondly remember seeing these thundering through the hills during my years in Scotland.
I remember driving North along the old A9 when one roared directly over the car.
I'm unsure what shuddered the most, the car or me!
Great machine.

Right place, right time...
Nice catch.

Lovely images.
I attempted to visit and capture some images from Kirkjufell on my Ops at Kef in the early 80s, but never managed anything of this quality!

Simply stunning.
A great experience Fredrick !

Some outstanding hardware there, and displayed to us in a very professional manner.
Wonderful to see, - Excellent work.

Not really major news, the 7Dii with dual Digit6 processors offers 10fps, although the sensor technology has advanced, so I await the images to see ISO capability.

As said earlier, it's sadly becoming a dying breed. For me, Scampton was, as an airfield, off to a bad start logistics wise and geographically too. A reduced number of aircraft, coupled to a high financial charge and bad weather, hit its infancy. Never recovered from bad press. Won't happen again. R...
