Another option would have been to have copies made for display, before they go for sale.
The are a lot of facsimile items on display, in museum medal cabinets.
Very good documentary. I’ve always thought this a much underrated film.
What film ?
Not a bad film, apart from the mandatory romantic storyline.
I think I first saw it on the TV, Film4 maybe ?
I still remember the Huskie demo’s at Wethersfield, showing how it was used for fire suppression.
Getting a pilot out of a burning aircraft.
I tend to agree. As wonderful as it will be for the aviation enthusiast, for the average Joe (or Jolene) public who go to airshows, it will
probably go largely unnoticed.
The term “Nighthawking” has been used for low life metal detectorists for some time. They give the hobby a bad name.
Thankfully the majority are responsible, have a strong interest in history, and report their finds to the Portable Antiquities Scheme,
via their local finds advisor.
If it weren’t for detectorists reporting their finds (a legal obligation for treasure items), there would be a lot of empty display cases
in our museums.
A British detectorist I know, who is now living in Croatia, has worked alongside local archaeologists on a project close to where he lives.
Helping organize their spoil heaps. The finds rate on that site has increased by 9000%, with the help of metal detectorists.
Archaeologists here are slowly coming round to realize that metal detectors can be a useful tool in finding small finds. Unfortunately
there are still some of the old school, who would rather items were not found, rather than be discovered by amateurs.

The speed on PB seems to vary according to when you are using it. From my experience anyway.
It can be very slow at the weekend.
My accountant still had a fax facility. A good way of sending documents if
you don’t have a scanner.
The problems with emails, is that someone has to log onto a computer and read them. (Not everyone uses smartphones)
A lot of museums will be staffed by volunteers, who never go near a computer.
Better to send a fax if available.
I remember when my Brother in Law was working at Luton airport, they put a computer in his office. He never turned it on.
Saying that if someone wanted to tell him something, they knew where to find him.
Definitely an aircraft for a warm climate.
You can bet your life that once Mildenhall becomes populated,
there will be complaints about noise from Lakenheath.
Veteran broadcaster Sir Jimmy Young has died aged 95.
I thought he’d died years ago….Who could forget his radio cookery ? “This is what you do”
It’s horses for courses. I’ve used PB for many years now, and it would probably be a pain to shift 33 albums elsewhere.
I don’t think PB has an upload limit, but I only upload at about 1400 x 1200 (approx) pixels anyway, as I find that an optimum size
for uploading to websites and sending as slideshows to people. I believe Google+ also hosts albums, but they have a size limit.
As far as finding saved pictures is concerned, no matter which site you use, it’s a matter of saving your pictures in the right folder
or album. Sounds obvious I know, but it’s surprising how many just put all of their pictures in one album.
Why don’t you like Photobucket ?
I’ve used it for many years, and apart from occasional down time, haven’t really had any problems with it.
Although it barely gets a mention when you do a search of available cloud bast hosting sites. It still has a lot
of very good photo sharing features though.
There are a lot of hosting sites available, many of which work better if you are prepared to pay.
Flickr has been around for a while now, but is now lagging behind some of the market leaders, according to what I read.
As with everything else, it’s what works for you.
