Best thing to use is a deicated slide scanner. Mine is a Scanwit (now Acer) 2720S film and slide scanner, invaluable if you have a lot of slides to convert to digital.
The best software I’ve found is Silverfast, which actually scans the film/slide several times, and produced sharp images, with colours full of depth.
Both picked up cheap on eBay…
Don’t watch this if you have a sensitive nature…
A short Pathe film of WW2 Luftwaffe aircraft being melted down in a scrapyard ‘near Oxford’ to provide aluminium for ‘future homes of Britain’! http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=48210
Gossip and rumour circulating at Kinloss (so far) is one Nimrod MR2 to go to East Fortune, one to Duxford, and a nose section to the Highland Aviation Museum, Inverness…
Welcome Stuart – interesting stuff. Of course it’s a shame we didn’t know about all these crashes when we were kids, when WW2 had only been over for 20 years, not 65!;)
I remember being on shift at Kinloss on 27th June 1990, when a Canberra E15 WH972 crashed before the runway 25 threshold. On attempting an overshoot in heavy rain and low cloud, the port engine surged under the application of power, and the arcraft yawed and rolled rapidly to the left.
The navigator ejected as the aircraft started rolling, and survived with major injuries, but the pilot ejected when the aircraft was almost inverted, and was sadly killed on impact with the ground.
Hangar 5 is an eclectic mix of aviation bits. Despite having visited DX many hundreds of times, there is always something to look at and wonder, what the devil is that.
Could it be a transportation crate for a Link trainer?
