Cooo,
Remember that 70’s Panorama episode where (Lefty Gardner??) piloted the Mustang painted in stars and stripes and a tinted canopy did an aerobatic routine then landed on his driveway before taxiing up to his house and parked up on his lawn?!? That was amazing and influencial, if I won the lottery….

I’ve got a DVD of that somewhere, “Colonel Culpepper’s Flying Circus”. I think I’m going to have to have a look for it.

8674 planes can breathe a sigh of relief, someone’s put a quid in the meter and it’s back http://fighter-collection.com/pages.php

It’s in the workshops at Dugny on the opposite side of the airfield from the Le Bourget museum.

Here’s a photo from October 2011:

That clip’s missing a vital element. The formation really needs to be accompanied by the ride of the valkyries.

There’s a bare fuselage frame in the rafters at Skysport.

Is that the one that’s being restored by orthodox geeks?

David, the way round this is either to set a custom white balance on your camera before shooting. The instruction manual for your camera will show you how to do this, it’s quite simple. You’ll need to keep resetting the white balance as you go around the museum because the lighting isn’t a consistent colour temperature. I carry a white balance target to do this, but a piece of white card will do the job.

Your other option is to use software. If you’re shooting in RAW then you can do this as part of the conversion (quite easy with Canon DPP) or you can set black and white points to determine the level of colour correction. Roundrels are a good source of white points.
