They use allsorts of planes and helo’s for air to air snaps and some long and very short lenses too. I’ve seen shots taken by guys standing (strapped) on the open cargo deck of a C-130 Hercules.

Personally the only stuff I’ve done was TV work from an side door opened Bell Jetranger and from the somewhat cramped cockpit of an RAF Bulldog trainer.

Great fun all the same.

Nothing beats ebay for models. The selection on there is unbeatable, much like the prices!

I took a trip to modelzone in Basingstoke yesterday and bought myself this at the bargain price of £14.99. Scale of 1/144 and made by Corgi.

I’m after a 1/400 Air Force One 707 at the moment.:D

“So what’s your name then girlie?”

“Helen”

“It’s a good job your surname isn’t Back isn’t it?”

“It is Back actually”

“Amazulu ?”

“Is that right big man? Ah’m a Glaswiegian!”

I get most of mine from http://www.classicaeromodels.co.uk Run by a guy called Mike, very good prices and excellent service. He only advertises what he stocks, unlike a lot of other dealers I could mention.

Based round your neck of the woods too Sam, in Inverurie. Aberdeenshire.
