    was there in February – interesting place and the building in Belbao (spelt wrong!) park is fantastic – under the flight path into the airport!

    Did you visit Midway? – thought that was fantastic but not too many aircraft on it yet!

    Wonder where the other two good engines have gone?? and the spares supply for the MATS group

    Didnt the Dutch group change the props – which required a lot of engineering work around the front of the engine – I thought the MATS Connie had the rarer electic ?? props

    Isn’t really nice being there when you can only hear engines and see planes – (with no speakers or people around!) – I always remember a very special moment when one morning I arrived for duty at about 7am to be greated by a wonderful summer morning with skylarks (I think!) darting around on the grass – then the P47 and P40 were rolled out ready for a trip up to Elvington – They were having probs starting the P40 so the P47 took off and did a number of gently circuits waiting for his mate – Wow the sound of only the P47 gently flying arouind together with the birds and the weather all made it magical!

    oh forgot – a D50 body from Jessops for £309.34 with the SAVE-0250 code!

    or £839.95 for a 30D and 18-55 lens (not a good lens!) form Camera King 🙂

    Current best price I have seen is £779.95 in the UK for a UK spec/supplied 30D body – or £1089 for a 30D and a 17-85 is usm lens (both Camera King)

    Its actually cheaper with the lens than a 20D with the same lens – strange!

    best current deal I have found is 30D with 17-85 is usm with 2G extreme III card for £1149!! (Warehouse Express)

    Im watching these prices as I have decided to go for a 30D myself after looking at a D70 and D200 – think the focus system is much better/quicker on the Canons than the Nikons – (although I was impressed with the D200)

    for the D50 with 18-55 the cheapest Ive found is £389 from warehouse express

    anyone know of any better prices – please tell!!

    cheers

    think it is something to do with new EU (spit sideways!) noise regs at airports.

    nothing wrong with the aircraft

    great shame!!
