it’s interesting you should bring this up, I’ve decided to stop submitting photos to airliners.net because I find what they are looking for is goes against the style of photos that I like to take. They are very interested in just having photos that show the complete aircraft from a quatering position or a profile view, if we take for example and aircraft that came to the airport where I am at the moment (and I’ve shown these photos on the board before) I decided against taking any normal profile shots as this aircraft has many nearly identical shots of it on the site (G-OOBE) whats the point in taking more of the same.
I like to take photos of things that are interesting and different, detail that is rarely seen but this is not a very popular subject as far as I can tell.

Here is an example, this aircraft is on a round the world tour, its kitted out with 88 first class seats inside and had an 18 strong crew, the crew had each placed a mark on the tyre with a number next to it, whichever number the tyre stopped on the crew member whos number it was one the lottery and got $18, I had a good time talking to the crew and they showed me round their A/C personally. The story is what is interesting to me and I know it’s not a gret photo but personally I prefer this to another whole shot of the aircraft.

A batch of DB’s? Never heard that one!

It’s in the airframe

Who, what, where?! :confused:

Hi all, where on the above web site is there a wing? I cant see one!! Looks like they have invested heavily in tooling. The engine block in the cradle, is that a 601 or a 605 ? So far the only person to put restored 109’s back in the air is Craig Charlston in association with Airframe Assemblies.

That’s quite an incorrect statement!

This is hubert Hartmair, his work is well known and used in 109 restorations hence EADS using his services and other restorations, importantly he can reproduce the stressed skin panels for the fuselage. I am intrigued to see that complete replica 109’s are being reproduced obviously someone has some 605’s for them!
