Re: Camera Upgrade Suggestions (for videos)
As always whatever you go for will be a compromise. I've been using a Sony FDR-AX53 since 2016 and had an AXP-33 before that. For the price and the specification it's a goods camcorder but really comes into its own for the balanced optical steady shot, which has 3 modes, although the strongest mode ...

Re: Canon R7 "Black out"
Possibly caused by electromagnetic interference of the camera by equipment on the aircraft. Here’s a link to an article about the presence of magnets in cameras and lenses and their susceptibility to magnetic fields - https://www.tamaggo.com/2023/08/24/are- ... agnetized/

The Imperial War Museum have some colour film in their archive. Depending upon how desperate you are and any cost, you may be able to get some stills from it? Here's a link to their archive record -

RIAT B-52 Landing gear crab angle taxiing demo.
Although this doesn't show the runway landing lights that are rumoured to have been damaged, here's a look at the B-52 crab angle taxiing demo that the crew did after landing at the end of the show on Sunday 16 July.

Re: Tempest to fly faster than the speed of sound
