    i guess its a matter of personnel preference then 🙂 i think boots do a pretty good job and Snappy snaps do an excellent..althought expensive…job.

    Snapper, from your profile i gather you are in the business, what is your knwoldege of fast processing places that do the images in 20-30 mins. Would you recommend them ?

    Perhpas i should elaborate a little……….

    If you take your films in to be processed at somewhere that does them in 30mins/20 mins then your film is most certainly going to be developed and then printed without a member of staff taking more than a very quick glance at them. There is simply not enough time for the staff to go thorugh and adjust the ND setting for each image. Changing this can drastically improve an image and it is this kind of control which you would get if you were developing and printing yourself.

    As for my somewhere like Klick comment, I dont believe they spend much time checking the images when they come through. Also in comparison to other photo retailers i think the service is not as good aswell as the results.

    hope that is b*llocks enough for you snapper 😉

    (ncie when people speak there mind)

    The section i saw at Sandtoft looked very very much like a lanc centre section, although not all of it i must add was present. This was aswell as the Linc centre section. Ill ahve to a bit of research into what a Fairhcild c119 centre section look like.

    museum project my ****

    Imperial Aviation Group my foot!

    If aeroventure got hold of that lanc cockpit and fuselage section i think we’d have a good chance of seeing them restored, at sandtoft they WILL just sit there and rot.

    David, what did you mean by centre section of a Fairchild C119? When i was there last i saw the Lincoln centre section and what looked very mcuh like a lanc centre section. Are the centre scetions very similar and easy to confuse?

    Also lets not forgot the B25!

    David , are you involved with Aeroventure? Just you said “we” 🙂

    Thanks for posting the photo 🙂

    regards, steve

    ps- if you want to make it bigger i say we all club together for a flat bed truck and head off to sandtoft.

    pps- why are these lancasters inside russia such a mystery, are there owners very protective of their interests or is it somehting political?

    Personally i prefer 35 mm. To be blunt, it should not be that expensive if you learn how to take good photographs. Theres no need to end up with half a set of awful prints with a few good ones thrown in. Follow a simple set of rules and get a good light meter and you will be fine. Also dont get your films processed at Klick or any 30min deal as you are guarenteed to get rubbish pictures.

    best regards, steve.

    The Lanc and Linc at Sandtoft? Does anyone know whats going on with these. They were meant to be restored there were they not? Do they have the manpower and facilities there to restore such aircraft?

    Im glad they are restoring the lanc section at aeroventure to an authentic condition. Interactive usually means strip out the aircraft so kids can walk through and hence take the feel of it been a real aircraft away anyway.

    here would be my advice to anyone thinking of buying a digital slr……

    buy yourself a an adequate low end digi cam( one with shutter lag, but with a fair resolution) to waste on shots of statics etc And get a 35mm SLR for the rest until in a few years time, Digital SLRs will be a lot lot cheaper.

    Also remember……Its no good having a very high rated digital slr if your printer cant produce that quality!

    For those on the forum with a Digital SLR, surely there is no shutter lag on these models?

    Its a shame the Beverely cant be donated to the new airspace project at Duxford (Was going to say give it to hendon but i remember what they did to the last one they had 🙂 )

    Its probably quite a crowd puller for the museum of army transport although i don’t think its vital in portraying the role that airborne transport has played This could be equally be represented by a dakota or a hercules perhaps.
