Ok thats it, the shed goes up in smoke!!! :diablo:

Photography is a hobby of mine, accordingly I have a good idea about what was used to create photographs (lens focal length, settings, sometimes even the film type) by lookign at the picture. Also I use photo editing software frequently so its pretty easy to see whats been done to these pics. Whats the problem with that?

:rolleyes:

Cor blimey. Banged to rights guv! :rolleyes:

Toby – the thread was a wind up – the pictures are of four forumites larking around for the filming of a documentary last week (I was one of them) the pics were posted ‘unaltered’ over the course of last week…

Low and Slow got ya!

The chappie in the first shot bears an uncanny resemblence to Lieut. William Leefe-Robinson V.C. 😀

…..only rounder.

Did I just say that – out loud? :diablo:

Apologies for all the ‘insider’ jokes, but it’s not often one gets the chance to extract the Michael from three forumites at once! 😀

At the risk of pointing fingers (I’ve gained a few pounds in recent years)…the chap in the first photo looks a bit …’em …large..compared to most WWI pilots I’ve seen. 😀

You vill regret crossing swords with the Blue Max!

Take cover!! :diablo:

I blame the wardrobe department. Your time shall come, Herr Jones.

Strangely Damien, I thought I’d suffered at your hands on numerous previous occasions. 🙂 🙂 😮

The bloke in the third one who’s pointing upwards looks like an overstuffed teddy bear… 😀 😀 😀

I now expect to have to take cover.. 🙂 😉 🙂

Judging by wonderfully regular and technicolour patterns puporting to be grain structure in those pictures, I’d say someone took these at an airshow, defocussed them slightly, added a slight sepia tint and a good chunk of random noise and then wondered who would “buy” these as genuine originals. Not very convincing.

I have some original 1919 photos from Eastleigh airfield and the “ageing” evident in those pictures is very different from the amateurish attempts in those, sorry. 😀

See TEXANTOMCAT’s posting from a few days ago about filming at Sywell for the TV programme on the Victoria Cross.

Roger Smith.

Just came across these three grainy old pics.

Comments please on where, when, who…..why?

Bear with him, chaps, it’s an interesting tale!
(can you tell which other Forum I frequent yet?)

They’re certanly unable to wear their caps properly. Seen by a WO I reckon they’d be on a charge! (Were they real…) 😉

The first shot – that pilot looks flak happy to me….
