I’ve never noticed before that my scanner crops the pictures :o, so I’ve re-scanned the break and added another(slightly cropped!). I hope these are of interest FB.

Hi FB, I’ve found a couple from Legends of ’97 which may be of interest. They are quick scans of slides so are a little “mucky”.

From my experience. I should urge caution with regards to Clifair’s advice re the Canon Outlet store on ebay(run by Digital River).I would never normally advise against a purchase from a particular seller, but in this case I could easily be persuaded!This is in no way an attack on Clifair, as he has clearly had good experiences.
Buying from this seller is like playing Russian roulette;statistically, you stand a great chance of success, but when things go wrong, it is a disaster. If you get a working product, then you are happy and give good feedback;however, if your get a faulty item, the nightmare begins. I cannot criticise their customer service, since that would imply that they actually offer one. They display the rather meaningless Square Trade seal of approval for the quality of their stated policies, but fall well short of these when they are called into play.
My 400D was faulty on delivery, so I contacted them immediately. Their first response is to send you to Canon support in the hope that you will get a repair on this “new” and unused item for which you have to pay the postage!I asked for a refund and it took 13 days for them to collect the camera and a full month(less one day) for the refund to appear on my credit card account.They work at their own pace, ignoring all emails urging them to stick to their stated policies and then wonder why they receive negative feedback,not for the broken product, but for the poor service.
After posting negative feedback, you then get a rather worrying email from Square trade stating that they have been asked by Digital River to ask you to withdraw your feedback or submit to their “independent” arbitration;if you don’t respond, they can have the feedback removed anyway. There is nothing “mutual” about this process and is little short of harassment.Look at the feedbacks(try this excellent tool to help:http://www.toolhaus.org/) and look at the 393 feebacks “mutually” removed.
I have refused to mediate REPEATEDLY, yet still they persist! Digital River did contact me after the intervention of Canon, but the offer of discount from a future purchase was rather pointless in the circumstances.
Canon UK were not impressed by their tactics when I complained and despite their contact with Digital River, things still appear to be poor as I have been contacted by two disgruntled buyers seeking advice from someone who has had problems.
I now have a nice 400D plus Sigma 28-300mm lens bought privately on ebay from a seller who allowed me to inspect and collect from his home!
Sorry this is so long, but the negatives(and neutrals) on feedback should always be read in full!

Thanks Moggy, I always want PA-22s. Shame about the colour of NG and the Pacer next to her, is that a true representation of their colour?

Yes, Mike it really is that colour!

Nice photos Gary. Here’s another view of the slightly “scary” Corsair pilot. 😎
