    I don’t care about the envoirnment-simple as,in that manner,life is too short & pointless to worry about what the world will be like in a hundred years,i’ll be dead by then.I always pick up my rubbish & recycle but that kind of thing has an immediate affect on your own local envoirnment,and besides air travel hardly contributes to global warming

    As far as I can tell, it’s not going to happen in the next hundred years, but certinally seeing adjustments in our life time. Even if it doesn’t, travel is going to change a lot over the next few decades.

    Whatever they do, Road Pricing will be a nightmare and I hope to god it is not introduced. Cameron has some good ideas with high speed trains and whatever, although I wonder what he’d do with Air Travel. Nothing too drastic since it’s fun 😉 but clearly something needs to be done.

    Programme was quite good. But the main insight it gave is just how convinent air travel is! Rail travel is a pain the bum at the moment, New Street is always over crowded as are the trains.

    Wow. Awesome shots 🙂 Jet2 climbout is fantastic, always like that angle

    Thankyou. 🙂 I’ll be at LBA on Thursday but to catch a flight, and returning Saturday. Hopefully I should make it up there with the camera again early next week!

    Thanks for your kind comments so far guys!

    PMN – yeah I see what you mean, having a look at the EXIF data and he seems to have slightly lowered and highered some levels 🙂 It’s something I want to experiment and learn anyhow, might have to purchase Aperture for Mac 🙂

    Adam – any american site has it for around $399! American ebay does too. Although I have not looked at any shipping charges, google conjurs up a lot of results for it. Here, for example. If I do end up getting it from american will have to check custom charges mind.
    EDIT: On the included site, inc shipping to UK is £223. Not bad at all I suppose 🙂

    Thanks again for the replys 🙂

    Certinally helped. Being looking at aviation shots of the e500, and it seems more capable than I first thought. This one looks really good 🙂

    Think I’ve settled on the e-500 now, well as soon as I get a play on one if I like it I’ll certinally be purchasing. For £400 seems too good to miss. Also Adam, whats the 18-180mm like? Found one for £210 new imported from america, seems like a kool lens for the price.

    Cheers again for the help 🙂 Will be ordering in the coming weeks, yay 😀

    Thanks guys 🙂 Was certinally a lot of help.

    The main reason I’m consediring the e500 over the e400 is because of the price. Someone mentioned it was discountinued and that’s why the twin lens kit can be had for £400.

    It’s reassuring to know there is lens support out there. Not had a chance to play with the e400 since my jessops didn’t stock it, I think currys might so will have to try and pop down. I liked the handling of the canon, from reviews I’d probably like the handling of the e500 just as much. The only thing is that the 400d undoubtedly has slightly better image quality.

    I suppose my main question is, is the £200 worth it for the slightly better images? It’s the main thing I’m quarreling about, £600/£400 so just want to make sure I buy the right gear 🙂

    Cheers for help so far,
    Adam

    Peter it’s £12 for the tour. Check the website HERE, to see what date you can make, and make sure you book else you can’t get on board.

    Last’s about 45 minutes and it’s well worth it.

    Me got to sit in the cockpit seat 😀

    Gotta be manchester.

    There’s a bus about every 20 minutes to the viewing park. Although if you can hire a car you can get to some excellent spotting places 🙂

    Birmingham is OK. But at manchester you’d get much better traffic.
