The only audio that I could find is included in the flight sim re-enactment. As you stated a lot of the original audio links are now dead. You can always try contacting the You Tube member to see if he still has the audio?

The two MiG-29s shot down on 26th March carried R-27 and R-73s. Do a google image search for ‘mig-29 bosnia’ for images of the wrecks and missiles.

My main task now is to clean my sensor and can only thank Teej for pointing this out but still think and will repeat can anyone repeat the same resulting photo as I have done using a dirty sensor or catching some sun flare to repeat the image if its so easily understood how it was explained to me,it must thus be easy to repeat.:):eek::D:)

No problem. Thanks for the reply. All you need it something to fly between the camera and the subject that you are focused on in the sky. In your case you shot at 1/500th shutter speed which is more than ample to freeze the subject even though it might be out of focus. It could be anything, insect, bird, blossom, flying plant seed carried on the wind, etc. All it has to do is pass between your lens and the subject. If it reflects light then it can add to the confusion when captured in that moment of time.

It is more readily caught with video cameras. Individuals attempt to pass them off as ‘orbs’ ‘rods’ etc. Quite staggering how people can get carried away into the world of fantasy. For example this chap in Canada who films under a busy upper air route in Canada. He believes he is filming fake planes and their interaction with ‘ufo’s’. He simply can’t comprehend that his optics can be affected by atmospheric distortion, light reflection,heat haze, etc and is going to play a huge part in the resulting image. Consequently a distinctive airline livery or aircraft distorted by such factors is passed off as something out of the ordinary. Add to the fact that he interprets anything that passes through the cameras field of view as interacting with the aircraft even though it might only be a few hundred feet above him.

‘Rods’ and a Tupolev that he can’t identify or has any knowledge of.

PMN, I believe, is a photographic screener on one of the aircraft image databases? In his time as a screener he must have seen all variations of photographic anomalies?

Your sensor is very dirty as you can seen from the version of your image that I have attached. All I did was add a background layer, equalise it and drop the brightness. The result is that all the dust spots, etc are highlighted. With that amount of dirt in your camera all sorts can be going on between shutter activations. Particles can be attracted to the low pass filter or be expelled. Dust on the low pass filter is normally a lot darker, but it doesn’t help presenting such an image when your camera has that level of dirt.

As already suggested it could also anything passing between your lens and the subject? All it takes is something to pass in front of your lens that is not at the focus point and subsequently reflects the light. The result is the same as the people who present the ‘orb’ images when they use flash photography at night or low light.

They left the runway intact. It’ll be interesting to see how long before it’s back in use.

It appears to be the policy to leave the runways intact and suppress the air units? Misrata is also joint civil so technically civilian infrastructure. No point in tearing up the runways when they will be required by the Libyans when Gaddafi is gone.

No problem.

Some links to images of the vessels after the bombing.

Thanks also, TEEJ. Interesting website he has there, very nice images he’s taken. I’ll give him a buzz soon, ta very much. 😉

No problem. Kev is Mr Coningsby!

RAF Coningsby is busy at the moment with air to ground training. 29 Squadron Typhoon T.3 returning to Coningsby on Thursday 19th May after dropping one inert Paveway of four carried. The same Typhoon was noted in the afternoon taking off with the three Paveways.
