You should be able to source a 1GB Microdrive for substantially less than £250.

http://www.valuemedia.co.uk/ has them advertised for £116, including VAT.

If you cannot afford the Canon 10D, then checkout the D300. Be aware of it’s limitation though, as with most things you only get what you pay for. Regardless, you are still getting alot for your cash with this little camera.

Well I hate the labs

Having not gone digital yet I must say that I spend way too much money on photos that are thrown away. It’s a waste when they are printed. Not that too many of mine are bad (but some are).
And it’s not just in-flight turbulence or the dirty canopies that are to blame… 🙂

Nice photographs Snapper

Nice work snapper – and the photos aren’t bad either.
Perhaps I could order a flying suit for my little mini-me? 🙂

Seems a fair price

I think the money will be hard earned. That job certainly has a lot more involved with it than just driving around the fenceline and scaring away the spotters !!

Nestor Slepcev

Daz,

Do a Search on Nestor Slepcev (and all possible variable spellings) and his 109 replica that he built in Australia about ten years ago. He used a horizontal tailplane from a larger aircraft, and produced a wing out of it for his Me109. It looked very fast. He also went on to design a scale (80%ish) replica of the Storch, the kit of which is still available.
