RE: Picture of the day 04/12/01

I’ve just set myself 50 lines -“I must pay attention to detail”, “I must pay attention to detail” , “I must………………..
Firstly ,I did take the shot at Leeming not Coningsby ( I knew it was one of the stations that my Bro-in-law was on Tornados at).
Secondly i had sort of read the article in Flypast and thought “thats a nice Lightning” without paying attention to the serial number.
And thirdly a colleague from work had recently been to visit one of our suppliers on Quedgeley business estate and came back raving about a silver Lightning that he had seen parked nearby.
I will research a little more before i post next time.

RE: Picture of the day 01/12/01

Thanks for your comments, its a shame that i cant reproduce the original slide quality when posting the pics, but with a file limitation of only 75k its very difficult. I accept that the file size has to limited otherwise the web space would soon get gobbled up.
When i get my own web site sorted, hopefully early next year i will be putting up higher res images.

RE: Picture of the day 30/11/01

Yes, all of the pictures are taken by me and i am gradually archiving to CD but given the number that i have got it wil take a couple of years to complete.
I use conventional (ie not digital) equipment, all Nikon with a range of lenses from wide angle to 400mm and always use Fuji Provia film stock.
I hope to be launching a web site in the new year aimed purely at advertising and hopefully selling my pictures.

RE: Pictutre of the day 26/11/01

Yes David you are right, it was an observation rather that a critisism.I saw the Hurricane after the accident when it was back at Conningsby (my brother-in-law was nav on the Lanc at the time so i enjoyed good access) and quite honestly i did not think it was rebuildable.

RE: Picture of the day

fraid so, if the information elsewhere in this forum is correct.So that will be two gone soon , ML417 and the pink one who’s serial number i forget at the moment.
How is the Mk21 doing at Duxford?

RE: Just trying out

Yes Ant, Coventry 50’s was the only display the NordNoratlas did and as you say its a pity because its a very interesting aicraft. This was in fact the one and only time i had seen one in the flesh, lets hope it wasn’t the last. Also lets hope that Air Atlantique are able to stage more of the same as both the 50’s shows were great.

As far as posting the pictures go this was my first atttemp on this forum after the revamp and it was very easy. When you open the post template go to the ‘attachments’ prompt and open your windows explorer, locate the file and roberts your relative.
I will post another picture soon, dont know what of yet, I’ll just pick one from the many that I have burned to CD. In fact i might just post a picture of the day, every day.
