Re: Saudi Jets

It may sound crass, but I don't really care what the aircraft are used for. Gosh, while everyone's entitled to their view, that's quite a difficult one to understand. Is it? Would so many people attend airshows if they couldn't separate military aircraft from their intended purpose? I highly doubt ...

FS: Nikon 24-70/2.8G (price reduced)

I've decided to sell my Nikon 24-70mm F2.8 ED IF G in favour of 28mm, 40mm and 58mm primes, having used the 24-70 almost exclusively as a 50mm lens for the past six months. The 24-70 was purchased new from Warehouse Express on 06/12/2014 and has been used sparingly since then for university projects...

Re: Swedish AF Tp100 argus over Chalfont 31/10/15

The link for the October 2015 log takes you to the October 2014 page, hence there is no record of a Swedish AF Tp100.

Edit - The URL you want is RAF Northolt, Log 31/10/2015, however this doesn't provide anything of use, either.

P.S. At 300mm, you can't have been that far back. He wasn't, and having left the EXIF information attached to the image, Kurt has made it easy for us to establish how far away from the runway he was. The image was made on an EOS 70D using a 300mm lens. The 70D has a cropped sensor (22.5x15mm), thus...

Re: Air Tattoo 2015 in 4 days (Pic Heavy)

There was a thread of Roger's on the old UKAR board back in 2007; a selection of F-15s from Lakenheath, if I recall correctly. Like this many offered constructive criticism and very useful advice, yet none of it was heeded. You would think trying to help someone would be appreciated, however in this...

XW224 was the Qinetiq/Rotary Wing Test and Evaluation Squadron aircraft, one would expect that this is the aircraft Ellins was referring to.

Many thanks for the assistance, chaps.

Warton 2010

I've spent about an hour this morning looking through threads from Warton in 2010 and noticed that the last image posted of Nimrod MRA4 ZJ514/A prior to the project's cancellation shows it on arrival at Warton on 11/03/2010. From my notes on the MRA4 project: "10-03-2010 - PA-04/ZJ514 formally accep...

WTD: BAE Nimrod MRA4 sticker

This is almost certainly a long shot, but I digress. Some time ago, BAE Systems produced a postcard sized sticker (I'd say about 6x4") of a Nimrod MRA4. The image itself was altered with a Nimrod MRA4 having been 'placed' on to the background of an image of ZH588 framed against Blackpool sea front. ...
