    I managed to retrieve five more of these today. They do have the drilled and tapped holes for where the steady feet screw through as in the picture on the Mustang. I spoke to someone who instantly recognised them for what they were, but said they could be of possible American manufacture as he remembers alloy ones being used on British bomb carriers.

    Can anyone add anything to this?

    it must have been taken using a relatively slow speed ?

    I have just looked at the basic exif info in the RAW files for that image.

    Shot at f16 with a shutter speed of 1/250th sec and ISO set at 200. focus mode was AF-C, AF area mode- Dynamic,focal length 300mm (which on my cropped sensor works out to about 445mm)

    Shoot in RAW format and use Nikons ViewNX software that came with the camera to process. You will be pleasantly surprised at the results.
    This was shot using the 70-300 lens, taken in RAW format (.NEF is Nikons version of RAW) processed with ViewNX and converted to .jpg

    An armourer friend of mine tells me they are certainly muzzle plugs.

    For someone who has never been to Sywell before what’s the deal?
    What time should I get there. Can I park onsite.

    We arrive usually about 09:00, parking is over the road and quite well arranged compared to some events. Never had a problem getting in or out…and a great atmosphere, I love the place and would go there over Duxford anyday!

    Simply wonderful, at least I will get to see them, several years on and I still have not seen the ‘Tin Triangle’ display or even fly since she took to the air again!

    Beautiful, but then again I’m a sucker for a dH 🙂

    I was lucky to have wangled a flight in ‘Ariadne’ a couple of years or so ago at the Moth rally at Halton.

    Thats the thing, i have no idea of what resolution would come out best on the ATC projector, I was hoping there might have been a common size that would display well. I have never used one of these projectors myself, so I’m at a loss to give anyone a better answer!
