Don’t know if it is wise to print the photo’s on your own printer. Working this way is extremely expensive as you have to buy those terrible high priced colour cartidges more often than you like to know. If you let your 10 by 15 and the occasional enlargement print by a local photo shop your are working much more economical. If you realy want a printer, go for a Canon one as some of their printers have seperate colour cartridges, so you only have to replace the colour that is empty, not the other ones that are still filled. With conventional cartridges, you have to replace them when one colour ( eg blue) is empy, and you have to thrown away the others. (I think Epson also has seperate colour cartridges). A friend of mine has excellent results on a Canon 900 printer.

Other things you need, I shouldn’t know. Some extra CF cards are always a bonus, and keep in mind that the flash in the camera won’t help you much shooting aircraft. It can be used in a small room, or is good enough for cockpit shots. BW Roger

Couldn’t wait till after my holiday. Just ordered a 512 card and a Xdrive II with 30 GB ( price difference between 20 & 30 was so small, and maybe one day I can get a second, third, forth hand Eos 1DS and then I can need some extra GBs ) from that firm in Australia. Hopes it will work out and arrive in Holland next week without a nasty interference by the Dutch customs. Thanks for the tip Damien. BW Roger

My first flight was on October 19, 1971. The aircraft on the flight from Amsterdam to Malaga was DC-9 PH-DNL of KLM. One week later we returned in DC-9 PH-MAX of Martinair. BW Roger

DDA is still around , although in a faded way. They were just allowed to start flying passengers again, with their DC3 PH-DDZ. They also operate DC3 PH-PBA. However, no more DC4 flying. I don’t like flying in a Dakota (I made over 800 flights, never been sick, since 1971. Flew 6 times in a DC3, and was airsick 5 times). And apart from that, I prefer the 4 engined props. So far flew in IL-18 (TAROM, 1972), DC-4 (DDA 2 times), P-3 Orion (Dutch and Spanish Navy/Airforce and Constellation (MATS Connie 1994). Hope that Red Bull will start flying with their passenger DC-6 next year. BW Roger

Thanks Damien. Going on holiday some 10 days from now, and hope that the 10D arrives before that. I went through the site of Powersinnumbers again, and their prices are indeed very low. For the price I pay for a 256, I can get a 512 there. As soon as I am back from my holiday in Spain, I am going to order some cards and the XDrive II 20GB from them. Thanks for the tip! BW Roger

Thanks for the advise everybody. I am going to order the handgrip. I have 5 256 cards, but as I have another digital camera, and I only intend to shoot in Tiff or RAW, I am afraid this isn’t enough for half a day of airshow work. So I also want a Xdrive now. Just checked the site of powerinnumbers, and found out that it is in Australia. Knowing the Dutch custums, this means that if I buy the Xdrive there, I must pay around 40% on inport taxes and VAT, or am I wrong in this? What type of Xdrive do you have Damien? And did you have to pay the UK costoms? BW Roger

This is the way I do it.

At first, download (for free) Irfanview in you computer. When you have done this, open the Irfanview program and look for the photo in your files and click on it. Now the picture is shown in its original size. Then go to image, and look for resize . Choose either 800 by 600 or the smaller 640 by 480 (I think). Now the photo is shrinked to fit this. If you save them (under another name) , you have a copy of the original image, but now in 72 dpi and it is mostly under 100 kb. In this way I shrink my 6mb tiffs to an averige 87 kb. You can do it in photoshop, but this is so much more easier that I prefer Irfanview. BW Roger

You have to go to “Attach file” , and then scraoll tio the directory where your illustration is. Give a (mouse) click to the photo, and it loads. Photo must be no larger than 100 kb however. Good luck! BW Roger

Some more info from a pressrelease:

The aircraft never took off, and slided off the runway in a field, some 50 mtrs from the runway.

However, and that is what I think that eyewitness talked about.

It made a missed aproach during landing this morning, and had to make a 360 to land again (without problems).

That’s it for the moment. BW Roger

As far as I know, it never got airborne during take off, or it was only airborne for a few meters. As a result of either of these, it ended up in a field. I don’t belief that “eye witness” story of the aircraft taking off, making a 360, and landing again.

Sometimes uglyness has its own charm:D

Shot at Bierset, Belgium 2 weeks ago. I like helicopters, why not, they often make good photographs. BW Roger
