Re: Ruddy typical !

Still great light as it finally got here, it then proceeds to turn in about five miles away from normal, so these are a bit 'strained' to say the least..... :grr: https://c5.staticflickr.com/6/5685/30866273300_be4ca5c789_k.jpg Emirates A=380 into Manchester by Ian Sheppard , on Flickr https://c...

Re: watermarking photos - do you or don't you?

I would do if knew how! I know it's military, but I had my pictures of the Queens diamond jubilee rehearsal over RAF Mona (Which was to be performed at RIAT that year) lifted and put into a certain publication. (Not too bothered as it was for charity) How can I be certain it was my pictures? because...

I was having a 'discussion' regarding seeing a "Sunderland" flying at one of my many airshows over the years, to be informed there were none flyng then, now if I was doing a passing visit to Biggin or somewhere like that at that time period it would have been ...

Re: which air displays /fly-ins / events will you attend in

Hopefully (As long as I can get my carer (Wife) to take an interest) I'll be at Rhyl and Southport, it all depends on my good lady wifes shift patterns for those weekends.
I'd love to get to RIAT for a day but the journey is too prohibitive.

Not condoning speeding in any way, as I know for a fact I was as guilty as anybody of it! My tale of French driving was returning with the family after having taken them to Euro Disney, we left in plenty of time to get to Calais for the ferry, just as we were getting onto the routier system my littl...
