    Outstanding air-air photography-really great to see these together, and pretty low too!

    Will any of the fleet be at Keevil this weekend?

    Perhaps this is ‘Standard Crosswind technique’ in Italy!

    Still, could be worse

    I remember that the commentator at Old Warden always used to go banging on, or rather, ‘informing the crowds’ that the engine in the Shuttleworth Bristol Fighter was the oldest airworthy Rolls Royce engine.

    I wonder if this is still the case?

    I doubt that aviation magazines represent a particularly bouyant market for photography. I have not seen the circulation figures for the main enthusiast titles, but I would place a reasonable bet that they are less than they were, say, five years ago. Even the publisher of ‘The Times’ has stated that there is no great future in print, and as an industry, it is dying.

    When I have had photos printed by mags, it has usually been £25-50 each, which does not exactly send you rushing out to put a deposit on a yacht. I think the market, and, hence selling opportunites, has diminished, and no longer represents a viable livlihood. If ‘making a living’ means lodging in your mums house, and eating Value Pot Noodles, it might be possible.

    Not bad at all, in the conditions.

    Can you tell us what the lens is? I am looking for a lens for a digital Canon.

    No I don’t. And that IS the correct answer.

    Shall I sit in the front, or the back?

    Pembroke just clattered over Chesham, so they must have knocked the display on the head early

    Scrubbed, sadly.

    The more people who see the Memorial Flight, whoever they are, and whatever the circumstances, the better, and it would have got good TV coverage.

    Is it true that an official of the scheme has stated that it is to be wound up, with £850,000 still required, but not forthcoming?

    Ozplane,

    Yes, NPPL could be an option, but I understand that you cannot fly with passengers, or am I mistaken? I have swarms of adoring groupies who simply demand to be taken to heaven and back- half an hour each, at least.

    G-BTAZ was seemingly never flown, though registered in Dec 1990 by builder Stephen Poulter of Knebworth.

    A post on a certain ‘Rumour Network ‘ intimates that I-BILL, owned by Ormond Haydon Ballie was lost in Germany in 1977 when it too lost its canopy.

    I have not heard this before, but other contributions on this forum have suggested a torque-roll was the cause. Anyone remember?

    Very helpful, many thanks.

    I think there should just be time to shed a couple more pounds before the big day.
