See it from another point. Taking myself, I shot around 200 slide films a year, since I went digital in Januari, I have shot 12 rolls. Digital camera’s, at least the dslr’s are more expensive, but you get rid of the film costs, so today, given a camera life of some years, they are cheaper, and they give you much more control over the image than an analog camera. I wouldn’t invest in an analog camera anymore. Bw Roger

For sure it isn’t going to Seatle. I was told that it was still on site, just outside the airfield, while another source said it was within the airfield now. Last time I saw it was in 1991 when it still was in either Mont Joli, or Port Joli. Hope it can be safed, but I am afraid it will end up in flame one night, as so often has happened in recent years.

“610” is at Marana Regional Airport , as Avra Valley is now called. I understood it is under a full reconstruction after all those years in open storage in New Mexico. Don’t know if it is for sale (still) or already sold. Asking price was astronomical I understood. 613 is not in flying condition but can be made so in a few weeks work. BW Roger

Steve,

We thought that a book on the Constellation would be popular, as the Aviod(r)ome was bringing one of those to Holland. My co writer, the publisher and myself took each risk of 33%. As there are so many colourphoto’s in the book, this was three times as expensive as an all B&W book. It turned out that we had to sell 1500 books to break even, all others are 100% profit. We sold those 1500 in less than a year, and we atre now thinking of a new version which will be updated with the Dutch Connie story. If you have an idea, I can bring you in contact with my publisher and I’ll guess he can give you details on price per copy or so. Depend on how big it is. My book is 150 pages, 200+ photo’s in B&W and colour, and a glossy cover. Let me know if you want more, but maybe it is better if you contact me by private message then. BW Roger
