Is a cr 42 one of them bi-plane types and if so when were they used.

oops! did’nt mean chorley, i’ve heard your from Southport in Merseyside. Got some dates through for a course in January so i may not be on BBMF this summer, all good things must come to an end. I’m sure comments will continue to pass through this forum though.

Bruggen 130,

Thanks for the comments, but re the first, I have to disagree. The black on the LHS, in my opinion, gives the image context, which cropping tighter takes away. I also think it helps draw the eyes to the subject – the picture looks great mounted and framed. But hey, eye of the beholder etc.

Re pic 2 – possibly – to be honest, I didn’t pay much attention to that one. It was a pre-focussed opportunity shot (with large Nav intruding on the bottom right hand corner!).

(Both images shot on Ilford XP2 using a 15mm f4 lens with separate dedicated viewfinder, mounted on the flashmount. Pic 2 was taken without reference to the vf, with an outstretched arm (!), whilst pic 2 was intentionally framed as shown with no issues of parallax etc.)

Maybe with a bit more practice your pics will get better thus reducing the amount of times other people will need to adjust them, Coming from chorley you may want to venture into the world of colour photography now that it is truly up and running. Good luck and best wishes

I could’nt resist a comment, you know me “big gob”.

I would love to be sitting in the door of BBMF’s Dakota with PA474 in close formation
