When you mount a lens on the D70, the effective focal length is increased by about 1.5x (e.g., a 20mm lens shows roughly the same angle of view as a 30mm lens would on a 35mm body; note that the 1.5x is a rounded figure, the actual increase is slightly more).
Free teleconverter-like effect. Your 300mm f/4 lens now produces the horizontal angle of view of a 466mm f/4 lens! Wildlife and bird photographers love the extra “oomph” the D70 gives to their lenses. (Hey, wait a minute you say, how come 300mm x 1.5 = 466mm? Well, the horizontal change is almost 1.52x, actually.)

When one door closes, another opens. But we often look so REGRETfully upon the closed door that we don’t see the one that has opened for us.

It’s better to look ahead and prepare than to look back and REGRET.

Make it a rule of life never to REGRET and never to look back. REGRET is an appalling waste of energy; you can’t build on it; it’s only good for wallowing in.

If you want to fly, Griffon Aviation operate out of Paphos, and Tomahawk out of Larnaca.

Despite the continual claims about how ‘successful’ speed cameras are in reducing accidents, fatal accident rates have never dropped to the levels they were in 1993, 1994, and 1996, when there were no speed cameras in Northamptonshire.
1999 was an unusually bad year for accidents, which is precisely why Northamptonshire was chosen as one of the trial areas for speed cameras. The results were a foregone conclusion — accidents were bound to fall the next year, and they would be able to attribute this reduction to their beloved speed cameras.
So what is this ‘KSI’ thing then?
Basically, it’s a way of fiddling the stats to give them the answer they want. They group fatal accidents with serious injuries — as though there were no significant difference!
They can then churn out some nice figures which ‘prove’ how wonderful speed cameras are, whilst arrogantly believing that no-one has the intelligence to see through their deception. Meanwhile the number of people killed goes up. This is despite the Northants Police admitting that motorists are driving slower.
If in the next year nobody is caught speeding in Northamptonshire, and still say 30 people die. Then what? Reduce all speed limits by 10mph, and if still there are deaths, do we reduce the limits again until no-one dies. This will be when vehicles remain stationary, as the limit will be 0mph.
The camera’s are a money raising exercise, and there are many things that could be done to improve road safety, and camera’s are not one of them.

Great pilots are made not born. . . . A man may possess good eyesight, sensitive hands, and perfect coordination, but the end result is only fashioned by steady coaching, much practice, and experience.

Sorry I was thinking of 002 and that was 9/4/69. Next time I wont post from memory, not as good as it was.

She is still at Marshalls. As soon as I hear when she is due to fly again I will post the times/dates.

From the photographs the aircraft is a write-off. Not helped by the fact parts have been stolen and will need replacing.
