helicopters at MAKS 2005 in Moscow

Thanks.

The main reason I wanted the last photos to load was to get a look at the Hokum, whihc was the last helo featured. If you look at the picture from the underside (Also visible in the from 3 oclock image) you can see round fairings on the fuselage level with the rear of the stub wings. These were turret positions for an active laser defence system being developed to defend missiles being IR or optically guided at the helo. The turrets were fitted during an exercise a year or so ago but have obviously been removed since and would be considered to be secret “operational equipment”.

Garry,

Fair comment!

It’s always difficult to know where to draw the line when doing website design, I decided on 1024 x 768 pixel screen and reasonably large photos, with the expectation that advancing technology will eventually lift everyone’s boats and allow them to access things quickly.

Anyway, I do provide photo galleries for the technologically challenged, so you can randomly access all of the photos from here:

Well, one suggestion is that you break it down into several pages. The photos are impressive, but from a dial up connection the last few photos never load. And with your right click security you can’t right click on individual photos to refresh them to get them to load.
