As James said it was hot that weekend, so hot that he had to divest himself of the tweed that he is renowed for wearing. (see second shot below). I ended up with serious sunburn behind the knees from the sunlight reflecting off the concrete, but my legs are 1/2 the lenght of James’s.

I had the privilege of meeting James on Sunday and thanks to his generosity was allowed to inspect the Hudson interior with him during the after show “get up close and meet the pilots” half hour. Thanks again James, that really made my day.

Some of my photos.

1. My attempt at emulating Glens Boomerang shot.
2. JDK in his glory.
3. Hudson Cockpit
4. A Hudson shot from the Nov flying weekend. (have not finished the latest).

Ollie,

In the foreground are two Eurocopter AS-350 Squirrel, behind them is the HARS Catalina “Black Cat” and behind again and to the left is a EE Canberra.

This I believe is Glen just after he got the Squirrel shot.

I have been playing/learning more with PS so I have tried re-editing one of my original shots.

Is this a better edit than the original in message post #1?

Pictures of the unit.

I seem to remember that I was told it was CAC P51 or Vampire when I got it.

Thanks for your help

Thanks Archer,

I am still new to Photoshop and have a lot to learn. I really need to send the wife and kids away for a weekend (or a week) so I can sit down and play till 3-4 in the morning with it. At present something always comes up while I am trying different things and I never seem to get it all the way there.

Regards

John

Hi Glen,

You must have had VIP access to get those great shots. I will have to try harder next time.

Were you the photog that I asked “do you do weights” in the main hanger because of all those huge L series glass you were carrying?

Thank you Anna,

It was a steep learning curve. Most of Saturdays pictures of the Meteor and Canberra were wasted and they didn’t fly on Sunday so I couldn’t fix my errors like I did with the others. Just means that I will have to get to the next flying day in Jan.

Thanks taylorman.

I actually looked up the spelling from another web forum (reputable). I’ll have to do more cross checking next time.

Thanks Feather #3, I didn’t get told that the oil on the cowls was oil that had drained past into the lower cylinders then expelled during startup, that is normal radial operation but I didn’t expect that much.

I’ve had exposure to Herc and Caribous in my service life and it seemed a huge amount of oil (didn’t ask when it was last washed though) was present when I saw it up close on Saturday. As far as I know it had only flown down from it’s home base in the morning and done it’s display after lunch.

All said I’m glad I’m not the ground crew who has to wash it, I’m just glad that I got to see her display and up close.

I must thank HARS for all their effort as it really made my weekend (along with the Boomerang)

Hi Septic, the Connie is not exhaust stained but oil coated.

I was talking to one of the crew about this very subject. He stated that they use 3 US GALLONS of oil per hour (I am not sure if that is per engine but I think so.) Each engine has a 35 Gal oil tank that can be refilled in flight from a central tank located in the fuselage. He also commented that a new build engine would use approx 2 US Gal/hour. It just pours out during operation. I think I have a close up shot of the underside of one of the cowlings and will post it later.

I will never critisise the oil tightness any English bike engine again.

Thanks Septic, I am processing the rest of the shots now and have plenty of the connie. I took over 500 shots on the weekend in RAW so I have plenty of work to do.

Few for you now.
