I seem to have exposure problems at Edinburgh if its
a-very sunny
or
b-very overcast

if its very sunny then theres a wee bit danger of over exposure, I do stop down the aperature a bit and this will darken white fuselages, but I dont really like the effect it has elsewhere, and when its overcast then its hard not to photograph a silhouette, I’ll maybe do some more experimenting with the exposure modes, still think the 350 is a superb camera mind you 🙂

Nice! – what’s the green cross on the SAS engine for?

SAS Enviromental Program – Low Emission Engines by CFM, some sort of symbol then!

26 years ago – could most of those aircraft still be flying today? It would be interesting to check on the ones with visible registrations – but I don’t have the wherewithal to do it!
