    I’ll think the leading gang in North Korea is laughing themselves sick by seeing the mess going on in Iraq. This is giving them a carte blanche to do anything they want as they can witness now that the ultra modern equipped USA army can be stopped by a bunch of Iraquis. Invading Iraq , a relatively military poor equipped country (no Iraqui airforce has been operational) is one thing, now making a military fist against a North Korean army of severall millions is something else

    Well, if you go for it, let us know how much better it is than the D60, especially the AF. Bw Roger

    The Argentine “25 de Mayo” is/was the ex Dutch “Karel Doorman”. Plans to safe it from the Indian scrapyard, and put it in the Rotterdam harbour as a museam (and underdecks a floating parking place) fell through as it was found out that it was full with asbest. To remove this, millions (which weren’t there) were needed as it was named a safety hazard. I’ll think the same is going on with the other ships af this vintage. Most probably they can be obtained for almost the metal price, but the asbestos (don’t know the English name) will prevent this plans, unless a lot of money is there. BW Roger

    Damien, as I think that my photograph is in the customs teaching books as an example of how a totaly unreliable, disloyal, “not proven but everybody knows” white collar criminal is looking, I’ll think that is a bad idea:D . I’ll think I’ll go for the Spanish variant.

    Just a question, gives the Eos 10D the possibility in 300 dpi to fill an A3 centrefold without polarisation? I was advised by somebody of Canon this afternoon that the 1Ds is more or less best fitting for me, but at that price this machine is beyond my current financial situation. How much do you need for a digital to replace slides at A3/300dpi. 6,8,12 million pixels? There is an 8 million pixels coming (high end consumors (not proffesional) in a few months time, at price that is 50% more than the 10D (based on the Eos-3????). Worth waiting for or not. BW Roger

    Thanks for the info, which learns me that in the UK the price is “European” also. How is it possible that something relatively “cheap” (it isn’t a house or a car or something like that), can have a price difference of almost 70% when compared to the USA. The same goes for the Canon 1D, in the USA now 3000 USD, and in Holland (after chanching Euros for USD) , something around 5500 usd. How can that be. If I buy a ticket to NY, with a 2 night stay in an hotel (I can get that for around 500 USD), I am still 2500 USD cheaper. Only problem is to pass the Dutch customs (douane), but I can bypass them to take the NY flight via Madrid ( 100 USD) , so I arrive from the USA in Spain (where the Spanish customs isn’t interested in me), and arrive in Holland from Madrid, where as this is a European destination and a Schengen party, I am not checked by the customs. But the question remains: why are the camera’s here 70 % more expensive than in the USA?????????:confused:

    I’ll hope you mean the Canon Eos D10 As price in the USA is as low as 1500 usd for it, what’s the UK price? In Holland it is almost 66% higher than the USA price, as I have to pay 2300 Euro. In Germany it is 1995 Euro, and in spain you can get one for 1800 Euro. How comes that all those prices are so different from each other? BW Roger

    Well, this is only the beginning, there is much more to come. Whait untill this “playing time” is over and the real war starts in Baghdad. I’ll think that many people thought it was only to be a 3 or 4 day compaign or so, something not likely to happen. It can drag on for months to come.

    No more Fairford, fine with me! Two years ago I decided never to visit the IAT again! Never seen something that expensive and commercialised in the airshow scene. BW Roger:D
