I don’t know, I got told off at DX last Thursday for using the phrase “Plane”, and now I’m getting English lessons from an Australian. What’s next ?????? 😀

Ian, I don’t know if the real Mr Bader can be accredited with this or if it is down to the Kenneth More portrayal, but doesn’t he say something in Reach for the Sky to the effect of “Never a plane, its an AEROplane” 🙂

You impacting me mate? 😀

It’s just a pet peeve. I’ll shut up now!

We want to hear about your US tour.

James, you won’t be able to shut me up about it soon but ill refrain until I have the photographs back. I should get them done next Friday when I have access to a lab to do them myself. Need to develop and print 7 films from a trip to the Lofoten islands also while im there so will be busy.

To summarise, (or should i say summarize? :)) , pictures due of CAF Arizona Wing, NASM Downtown, Seattle Museum of Flight, Niagara Falls Museum and the Toronto Aerospace Museum from across the border.

Anyway, I’m going to hit the sack now, just been out celebrating. Fortunate enough to get a 1st on my degree when the results came today.

best regards, Steve

For managers who need long words to hide a lack of ability

true, but its nice to exercise the English language a little don’t you agree? 🙂
Sorry, after the brief sojourn in the US perhaps that should be ‘don’t y’all agree?’

Not seen the film but im guessing the character played by Ian Bannen hasn’t appeared in the film? 🙂

Perhaps this picture will inspire a few builders-from-scratch { Kemble, last weekend} a very impressive effort.

Maybe the builder will find time to log on, and tell us more.

Will any wings be produced to go with this? It looks mightily impressive, is it fully kitted out inside?

best regards, steve

Ah, but NASM Downtown, as remarkable as it is, pales in comparison with Hazy. Hazy is the Disneyworld of aviation and it would be a shame to be so close and not to set foot there! You’d be absolutely amazed and overjoyed from the moment you walk up the entrance ramp to face the P-40 and F4U suspended at eye level. And now there’s a Lysander hanging up as well.

You’re right, it certianly looks amazing, but even if I had a straight choice between Dulles and Downtown, I would still go for Downtown, ….they’ve got the Spirit of St Louis! Ever since I read ‘Lindbergh’ by A Scott Berg, I’ve wanted to see the aircraft in the flesh. Hopefully another ambition will be achieved 🙂

Oh, and yes, as a north of the border native, I can vouch for the fact that we did heartily reject the offer of annexation back in 1812. Can you picture Mounties in dress blues instead of scarlets? Com’n!

No I can’t, it was a typo my friend 😉

Thanks for the advice, I full well appreciate the size of both the United States and Canada. I have studied the transit times, and locations of bus stops and yes, its an immense county but heres the great thing, having no set plan means that if you run out of time, you just dont do something and find something else to do (even rent a car!). Your advice is taken onboard though with thanks. As for the bus stations being located in seedy areas….hmmm..not too good but hey, id rather see as many aspects of American culture as I can (eternal optimist?)

Im not going to the USA for Airshows or Aircraft museums, hence my orginal post stating “””places close to City centres are preffered as the only time we shall rent a car is in Phoenix”””. I d love to see the odd aircraft here and there but I also want to see many other things such as Art, maybe some Jazz in new Orleans or a Ball game at Fenway Park 🙂 etc etc, So i’m prepared to go a little out of my way but not a lot. Thats why the NASM (not dulles) and CAF, Mesa will be ideal.

Best get back to packing the bag!

thanks again, steve

When I were a lad my daddy made me wind up the undercarraige on his Anson by hand – 30 turns it took LOL

Roger Smith.

Shades of the RAF claiming back Vulcans allocated to museums for use in the Falklands War in 1982?

Roger Smith.

did they? I though it was just equipment that was needed for the bombing role. Happy to be corrected.

Four flying IIRC, all of which were scrapped after filming. The fifth was a static, I think, and that is now with the BBMF

I didnt realise that pa474 was a static in the film? Can anyone confirm this is the case.

best regards, Steve

Buddy Boy, you saved me asking!

After three years, I finished university yesterday and return home to Yorkshire on Wednesday eve. A farewell trip to see the Lanc is in order I think!

Now to find someone who would like to employ a filmmaker 🙂

hats off to people who arrange this day, its great that pilots and owners do this for veterans, I certainly never tire of seeing pics like the one of Mr Mussen giving the thumbs up in the rear cockpit.

Robbo, have you used on camera filtration in the past to get the correct colour balance in your longer exposures or do you prefer to edit digitally later?
