Re: Brize Norton Aircraft Positions.

Current plan is for aircraft to take off with a light fuel load and head to Fairford to receive their required amount. We drove some of our refuelling bowsers to Fairford yesterday.

Nikon 80-400mm F4

Looking to get a new lens and have spotted this one. Just wondered if anyone had any experience with it or any reviews? Had a search on the internet and it seems to be a good lens, thinking of part exchanging my current sigma lens and converter to put towards one but thought I'd ask around first. Th...

Re: Flickr issue

Im getting this as well, thought I was on the normal flickr as I opted out of the new experience setting they had.

Edit: Just checked again and all the options are back now, not changed any setting so might of just been an issue with the flickr website.

Thanks guys. Was lucky with the light for the last few, had been quite a bit of low level cloud but the sun gave everything that nice golden look when it appeared.
