“IN” meaning it may happen and they be sitting around all day with nothing happening.. “AT” meaning theres a high probability of what your expecting to happen will happen with great immediacy.

Air Sea Rescue helicopter crews wait around “in” readiness waiting for the call to standby and be “at” readiness in case a major event that is happening may require them to be there. they may not always scramble but the crew and aircraft would be made ready.

in some events the call obviously leads to a scramble straight away.

my steam shot from the punters side, last year at Llangollen

morris lubricants “”hard surface conditioner””. keeps a great finish on the tyres and the best off all it lasts for ages and keeps dust and dirt from sticking. i use it on restorations on bikes, cars and my own vehicles. it tarts up most plastics and rubbers. it comes in an aersol tin and is readily available

The steam engine one is fantastic and full of power.the Butterfly head on shot is great also coz they can be a sod to get close enough to to get a Macro shot

a one or two of mine

Tigger is a job ive just finished, i know they are not an arty photo`s as
such but it makes me smile and im chuffed how it turned out and yes there`s a slightly aviation picture ive skook in but i hope you can see the creative picture rather than the ellements of the photo.

so no RAF aircraft to be represented at the Guild of Aviation Artist Exhibition this year and all the artist that have made a living over the years and still are doing so are going to have their works removed?.

what of the artwork on display at Cosford and all other museums and galleries around the UK?.

i think some silly bod has has read it the wrong way and had a panic attack. go back on to their website and see what other artists are offering along the same line, i bet theres loads for the Roundel Police

Oswestry, Shopshire, UK, not far from the ww2 airfield RAF Rednal.

that one reason why a good old fashioned fisty cuffs war is reqd now n then. its probably more cost effective to shoot and drop weapons at things than to dispose of them in a none violent way when the shelf life is up
