    Nobody has bid yet, but there are still 6 days left.

    Anyway a quick ebay tip, if you have something and want to sell it on the “buy it now” method, simply put the buy it now price as 1p. Then simply put the postage cost as the amount you wanted to sell the item for, and you avoid e-bays final value fee.

    Yeah looks like that’s the end of my search for RFC Anwick, anyway talking of old airfields when I go to Waddo on Tuesday I will get some photos of the Avro / RAF Bracebridge Heath site, before anymore of it gets pulled down.

    Sorry for bringing this back up, but today I visited family in Anwick and went and got some photos of the garden center buildings I believe were the old RFC buildings and the strip of concrete that I believe was the original WW1 Anwick runway.

    I think however the runway would have been a grass strip and after the war became a farm track before being concreted over at some point.

    1 – Is an interesting sign on a garden center building, could it be the same Bolton Paul who built aircraft years ago ?

    2 – A garden center building a possible old Anwick aerodrome building ?

    3 – This concrete track is on the site of what I think was the original Anwick grass strip.

    4 – This area leads from the concrete track in photo 3 to the back of the garden center and might be related to the old Anwick aerodrome or it might not.

    5 – A view of the oldest looking garden center building.

    6 – Another view of the oldest looking garden center.

    Thanks for the link, actually it was the infamous window frame photo that made me wanna try and improve, yes I got the ground on photo’s 3 and 4, but 1 and 2 came out nice.

    That’s what learning something is all about seeing what works and what ****s up.

    Ok I am going to regret this

    Not sure why you think that ?

    I am using my S5500 and also I used a close up +2 filter. It’s not a case of me going out and photoing the ground, it’s a case of me going out with the camera and trying to learn/improve.

    The fact I focused on the ground in the last shot is part of the learning curve, I spend a good couple of hours per week trying various manual setting’s and plenty of time practicing manual focus, yes I have a long way to go but I am working hard on this and any advice would be most welcome.
