Lee, I always wear a ‘support’ when lifting it!!:D

You should get a medical cheque.

£15 for a new truss.

(You have to say it aloud).

XH558 – Turns into flatbed truck

XH558 has been replaced by a flat bed truck this morning.

I can only presume this is a temporary issue, and that she is outside for her test flight. Hopefully this will be in time for Cosford on Sunday, with a little time for any last minute rectifications that might require a further flight.

All appendages crossed for a successfuly test.

Webcams here [click]. Note that cam5 is either not working properly, or permanently set to some distant time in the past. 6 has no feed, I wonder if it is outside and need activating?

It’s a shame about the pricing, I’ll be in Wolverhampton, staying with family, for the Cosford ding-dong on the 14th. Unfortunately I won’t be able to afford to visit Coventry too – which is a shame. I’m disabled.

On a lighter note, anybody remember the BOAC VC-10 film that was shown as a test transmission during the day on BBC2 in the late 60’s to early 70’s and has anybody got a copy of it??

I’ve made enquiries online about other BBC2 “test transmissions” and believe that they’re available somewhere. Whether this particular one is available, I don’t know.

Try asking over at the Digital Spy forums.

Perhaps not technically the best, but certainly the most dramatic pictures I’ve ever taken back in March 2007 in south east Cornwall:

It looks like this aircraft was involved in another incident less than a year ago (June 08). An AAIB report was placed on line at about the 9th Feb this year.

A sad loss, my condolences to the pilot and his family.

Great – but you need to get the aspect ratio correct. It’s obviously widescreen, but is playing at 4:3.

There are free fixes around the Internet for use with Windows Movie Maker that can help do the conversion.

Actually, though, I think YouTube have changed the standard to 16:9 anyway (which explains the black bars left and right on your videos and the black bars left, right, top and bottom on my older contributions) – and you might just need to get it off the camera (or other source) correctly.
