My main body was a 7Dii with a 5dii as a backup body with EF 24-105 f4 and a EF 100-400mm mk2. Upgraded the 5Dii for a mirrorless RP as the new backup. However the RP has been so good it has become my main body by default and I’ve added a RF600mm. The mirrorless take a little bit of getting used too...

A few quick edits from last nights 'Nightshoot XXX' - as always thanks to Phil and the team for organising a great event and the RAF hosts who allowed the photographers such fantastic access to the ramp: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53574930085_5c14f5d106_h.jpg 60+03 P-3C MFG3 German Navy by ...

The photos below are just from one airfield in 1974 Ryan Field, nr Tucson, AZ - Your last shot from there Aero American had bought a batch from MASDC and was slowly working through rebuilding them, although by that time, quite a few never got any further.

After scanning all of my slides during lockdown and uploading them all into an Apple Mac photo programme it then allows you to run searches, in an idle moment whilst crossing checking an aircrafts designation I thought ‘how many types of C-47 have I seen? For C-47 also read C-41 / C-49 / C-53 etc. S...

The Coast aircraft being reported as a Dash-8. Not sure they even have Dash 8 aircraft? More likely to be a Bombardier 300 "Shimataka" which is visually similar. Apparently involved in Earthquake Aid Supplies to the Ishikawa area. Currently 5 of 6 crew on the Japanese Coast Guard thought to have pe...

Scanner economics - bought an good quality second hand multi scanner, scanned 10,000 plus K64 slides and then sold the scanner for the same price I paid for it …….. Cost per scanned slide zero !
