My day at MAN airport.

ah, thanks.

He is talking about this:

green321,

Do you have any idea what the Privatair A219 was doing at LPL?

It comes to FZO (Filton, nr BRS) on a regular basis andflies Airbus/BAe workers to TLS in Fance and Broughton. My Uncle works for Airbus so he goes on it and I’ve got the Privatar inflight magazine and boarding cards. The service used to be operated by Bristish European on a BAe146 but when they changed to flybe. the stopped.

OLT flies to Hamburg and Bremen in Germany for the same reason too on a Saab340 from Filton.

Talking of Filton, I went past in the car today and the road runs right past the runway and a section of the taxiway where two EAL 742 are stored. I got a really good view but I didn’t have my camera which was a shame. G-BDXH had its engines off. Looked vey sad 🙁

The only time I saw a Vampire it crashed 5 minutes later during its display at the Biggin Hill airshow 🙁

thesaint, what are you talking about?

Airbus now use Saab 2000’s of OLT on the Filton-Hamburg route,daily weekday’s.

Ren. frew, its a digital camera and I now see that the ones I use all the zoom are the ones with the most grain! The PIA B777 would have been a good one as well if it hadnt been so full of grain!

As ever I would suggest the investment in an SLR package with a 300mm lens. Not easy I know, but there you go.

I don’t know. It came in about 1,000 feet over the zoo where I was so it caused a few curious looks. It was very busy (the airport) with aircraft every 5 minutes almost.

thanks everyone, is there anything which can get rid of grain??

You can soften the pics but that’s a bit naff looking. Best to try and get it right at the time of shooting. Tell me about your camera equipment ?

Them photo editor softwares you can get I think may help you get rid of grain. I have got one but I havent got a clue how to use it! Thats why my pics I post here are so damned small.

kool pics 🙂

Cheers Ren.

What exactly is the point of digital zoom, cos I fail to see a purpose for it?

It’s a cheapo version of an optical zoom and can make your purchase easier as opticals cost money to manufacture. Basically think of a digital zoom as a newspaper picture consisting of X amount of dots or pixels, hold a magnifying glass over it and you will see the pixels as fuzzy little dots. This is how a digital zoom works, it magnifies the picture and it’s pixels, without ever optically zooming in on the subject. You just get a cropped version of what the imaging chip sees.

Quality therefore is compromised.

Great!! Of note at Liverpool today were, an EZY A319 doing training and Privatair A319. Everything else was the usual EZY B737s, Jem ATP, and a Monarch A320.

You have a lot of grain in the shots fella, I don’t know if you used a digital or film camera, if film, try using some like 100 or 200 ASA rated film, if digital, try taking some of the gain out by using the highest quality setting and avoid too much zooming in if it has a digital zoom, optical zooms are fine though. 😉

just if you are interested the vampire has come from macclesfield college where she spent years as an instructional airframe and was took away last year with a jetstream replacing her in that roleat the college.

Oh, OK, I see how you meant it now. Its hard to tell how exactly someone is trying to say something when you are just reading it, as I’m sure you will know.
The fuzzyness is no a big problem, you got the whole plane in the shot, thats what counts.

Johnny, its because I think they are, sorry I didn’t mean to sound like someone else said it, I mean, look at the PIA B777, all the fuzziness!
