RE: DC-7 Seven Seas

There are 2 DC-7ns (in flying condition) stored in Cordoba, Spain. I am quite sure that one of these (ex N90802)is ex BOAC. They are for sale, so maybe start a public action (like we in Holland did to get a DC-2 and a Constellation)to raise the money. BW Roger

RE: Hendon B-17

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 25-11-02 AT 04:14 PM (GMT)]That must be it Damien. After they had seen me working, they had to chanche the rules. The enclosed shot was taken from a tripod on 100 iso film and 70 -200 mm zoom.

On the other hand, some 4 or 5 years ago in Holland in the museum in Soesterberg they started banning flash photography, starting January 1st. As a result, on December 29th we were kicked out of the museum as we were taking photographs. When I told them it was allowed (although not for long any more) it started to become very nasty as one of the guards started to jerk on my camera and tried to break of the flash. Never been there afterwards.

RE: Hendon B-17

Hi Damien,

I was allowed a tripod without any problems at Hendon, some 2 years ago. Was that “luck” or is the policy diferent now? For you it won’t be a problem anyhow, just put the D60 to 400 iso , AV mode F4.0 and shoot out of the hand. The way I do it, I can get sharp pictures as long as it is 1/15th of a second, as the fill in flah compensate for small movements. BW Roger

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 25-11-02 AT 02:08 PM (GMT)]It is possible to get rid of the green and red lights on your photo’s at Hendon, although it needs a special photo technique. As I work on Canon camera’s, you must adapt the technique to your own camera.

Step 1: Put the camera on a tripod
Step 2: Set the AV mode to F 4.0 (for 100 iso)
step 3: Put your flash on the camera

The av mode now searches for the right time/light combination, in coordination with the flash. This means that the shot is taken as if the flash wasn’t there, and the flash only gives a small amount of flashlight, but just enough to brighten up the shadows, and get rid of (almost) all the nasty greens and reds. This works in 90% of the cases, only with eg the Vulcan or simular large objects, it might be not optimal, although a 100 times better than without this way of working. On digital, just set your white balance, but you must do this every time you photograph from another location. Shots get colourneutrol this way, but are very “cold”. BW Roger

RE: Uncle Adolf’s gift to the youth of Germany – Christmas 1944

At the warbird Information Exchanche forum I was told that the FW TA-154 was/is made for the Landesmuseum Detmold in Germany. When i looked at their site, I can hardly imagine that a museum of that kind ( art, farming things and cultural things ) are interested in a Third Reich night fighter. Maybe I’ll have another search/look tomorrow, or mayne somebody knows more on this. Must be great to see one of those aircraft in real life. Not as good a looker as the Mosquito, but who cares.

RE: Aircraft spotting in Greece: the game !

I got it working by using the tabs with the arrows on my keyboard, and sometimes the mouse is working. I also wonder why that girl is popping up all the time, possible to get your attention away from the Greek tanks. BW Roger

RE: FW-190 584219

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 22-11-02 AT 10:31 AM (GMT)]I shot in in the RAF Museum some years ago. I agree it has an ugly canopy, but I am glad it remains this way. Especially in the US, several unique aircraft as the TBM-3W2 , Dual nightfighterversion of the P-38 (and P-38’s with camera noses), were all converted into “normal” aircraft. Historicly destroyed in the restauration. I noticed when I compared the 2 shots, that the aircraft has been repainted. If it was in the original WW2 paintsceme first, I am not to happy with this as hardly any WW2 aircraft around today still wears the original paintcoat. Another question, where is that green heart on the fuselage, and the crest on the nose coming from? Are these original (for this aircraft???).BW Roger

RE: My favourite KLM aircraft

In the early 1980ties, the KLM school had a Sp2H (V-210) , a Harvard (B-184), a Tracker (V-151) and the F-27 Maritime prototype. All those were repainted in KLM colours, but none were ever operated as such ofcourse. Now only the Tracker and the Neptune are still in this livery. BW Roger

RE: Some bomber pics

I prefer it in the new livery, as it is in Dutch markings. I have some doubt however about the green/brown it is painted in. For me it is almost the perfect Mitchell (but when do they put a turret on top off it?), the most perfect one for me is the Spanish Airforce Mitchell in its great colours. BW Roger

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 12-11-02 AT 08:34 PM (GMT)]It looks to me as if the Falcon Six has a sharper formed tail, as seen in the enclosed shot. Another difference is that the Spanish Falcon is fitted with a Me-109 tailwheel section. Sorry for the horrible way it is scanned. BW Roger
