here is a pic of one of the Dutch ones. BW Roger

For some reasons, the picture won’t upload, any one a clue why?

I am sitting it out myself at the moment. The reason I didn’t bought the 20D was because of it very poor RAW buffer of only 6 shots (I never shoot jpg). So what I am hoping for is (let’s name it) a 25D with 1.6 crop and a 10mp sensor. With that I can do what I want for the coming years without needing to update. It it is still 8mp , which I hardly believe, well, then a used 20D will do it for me. I believe 8 to 10 mp is perfect for almost everybody. I am using a 1D, of 4.5 mp, and even that gives me A3.

Before next years season start, the 20D will be replaced. The new one is expected to be lauched before the 2006 PMA, in February 2006. So expect a price drop, and a lot of used ones, in early 2006. If you can sit it out, just wait a few months. BW Roger

Hi David, got that serial from European W&W. The point is the Dutch Navy used the early marks in WW2. This one now at the Aviodrome has zero worth for us. That’s why it will not join the collection but held for exchanche. If it could be rebuilded into an early mark, it should have Dutch value. As it arrived in Holland flying ( at least I was told that), and has always been indoors since, it is a potential flyer I guess. But anyway, it is available for interested parties if they have something interesting in return. BW Roger

I wonder, is it possible to remade a (static) T19 or T21 into a mk 1 ? BW Roger

Bought a Canon FS4000US, and it gives great results. However, scanning takes much more time than I thought, and no mather how much you clean the negs/slides, there is always dust somewhere. To be honest, i don’t believe a flatbad scanner with the ability to also scan negs/slides is a very advisable obtion. Filmscanners give a result that is so much better. And like Jur said, the Konica/Minolta filmscanners give very good value for their money. Apart from that, now with many going or already “digital”
filmscanners can be found second hand in great numbers. Most of them almost like new while demand is low. Bought mine new from a shop for 2/5th of the price after it was there for 2 years without anyone interested to buy it. BW Roger

And if you want one, there is an Anson available for collection exchanche in Holland.It is complete and has been indoors since its arrival in Holland around 1969.

Even a static replica of the first ever jet to fly (the He178) would be nice, and fill an historic gap.

James, there is already a static He 178 (being) made in Germany. Didn’t know it either. Forgot where it was but I saw pics of it a few weeks ago.

Hi Paul,

Here it is last saturday, it didn’t fly that day and unfortunatly the engines are covered. The DC2 is still recovering from the incident, and repairs are being made. Doubt if it will fly this year, but let’s hope it will be ready for the 2006 season.

I have also included a side shot of the F27. Unfortunatly, those 2 high viz jackets were around the machine all 3 hours we waited to shoot the machine. Hope to get a clean shot soon.

Hmmmm. Sounds like a once in a lifetime to me. But it would be an amazing sight for shure! 😎

Stieglitz

Next time , if there is a next time, I’ll be informed when it will be shown in the air, and I’ll let you know. Not going to miss it again.

Connie engine nr 3 is now (almost) considered w/o , and according to a Dutch magazine, a new engine must be obtained, and for the insurance, well that might be an ever bigger problem.

The F27 is looking great. It isn’t certified for passenger flights yet, but it is hoped it will be before the Friendship celibrates its 50th anniversary in late November. This machine, the PH-FHF is the worlds oldest flying Friendship.

And yes Cees, you are right, in the future it will be fitted with running engines, but it will never fly again.

Thanks Roger.

I hadn’t heard it had been damaged. Do you know the details?

Cheers

No details other than that there was a serious incindent in which it was damaged. It was at an airbase, might have been Albacete, short after its restauration as it only made very few displays.

As far as I can remember, 11 Dakota’s were used in ABTF. At the time I was a schoolboy and they were flying all day over our heads. In the weekends we (my entire class) earned small fortunes while being filmed in German uniforms, walking up and down along a road near a canal, the opening scenes of the movie. The daks were at deelen AFB and very off limit at those times.

The B17 and Harvard in the new movie will only be seen in the opening scenes when a B17 is shot down and drops its load on a farmhouse

[QUOTE=JDK]You may be able to amend this Roger? My understanding was that the C-30 recreation (built as a copy of the RAF Museum’s Avro Rota) in Spain certainly flew (hurrah!) but I believed was permanently grounded (booo) as the ground resonance and other issues make it a high-risk airframe to fly on a regular basis. That’s not to say it’ll never fly again, but I reckon it’d be a very rare event.

It’s a beautiful aircraft, and may contain original parts.

Hi James,

It flew, but it crashed/was damaged during a flight. It is now restored and inside the CV museum. I am sure one day it will fly again, but this will be a very ,very rare occasion. Looking for a pic later today.
