Well I needed more Batteries. Big holiday booked for May and a further camera added to the bag :whistle: So off to Amazon for more cards etc and up this pops..... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0B5TZKYJR/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Not sure if the 10% voucher shows but at less...

Went down the same route out of a 90D just over 12 months ago, of which I had 2 dodgy copies....Inconsistent AF and off centre AF with the first. Enough was enough. Took the plunge as a retirement treat. R6 Mkii, and a 100-500L. A total game changer! Yes it's a jump in tech, yes it loses "reach" but...

Always bought non OEM batteries, but changed to an R6ii last year and the old ones won't run the electronic shutter. I spend £2.5K plus on a new camera and baulk at a £100 battery🙄. Anyway bought 2 Neewer LP-E6NH and so far they work in all modes. Not sure they last quite as long as the Canon batter...

Currently residing in Hangar 3 at Duxford. Hopefully she’s rolled out for the flying finale on Saturday.

That would be lovely

Shame, we should have asked for them back, Anything better than the F-35?!?!?…… You're right, there isn't anything better than the F-35. That's why everyone who can is buying it. But not necessarily the B model we've signed up for. Maybe we should re-examine the model mix, a bit like we did with th...

Does anyone have a photo of Sunday's Flying please? For planning my day.
TIA,
Pat

Indians have cancelled , was 5 Tejas.

Oh well.....Finnish F18's, Belgian 16's, Saudi Typhoons...still worth a Roadtrip from North Wales....

Ok, controversial but it seems loads hate the Glossy black RAF Hawks yet we fawn all over a Glossy Black Hornet .
Myself? Not so keen. Give me a High Viz US Navy Cag bird any day of the week.....

Hard Hat on....

Of course. as bad as the news currently is regarding escalation of war, there is a simple way all this ends tomorrow. The aggressor, Russia/Putin, leaves Ukraine and war is no more.

Making the UK a bigger target is also a concern right? :( Sadly, yes it is. Let's face it. If anyone jumps with offensive Air Capability, we're all going to be a target. Since when did Putin discriminate in his target selection? If We, France, The US deliver aircraft, he's going to see us a target ...

Maybe we should let them have some of those Hangar Queens at Marham? Looking at the movements page, we seem to have a lot more aircraft gathering dust in a shelter than flying!! Biden says no to F16's but really, it looks like the only type with enough "Spare" airframes parked in the desert.... Esca...

Sad to see this. Pleased to have met him on a few occasions at Duxford. A Gentleman.
RIP

Anyone know how long the Lanzarote based aircraft are there for? I'm there from Wednesday for a while......

As far as I'm aware the exercise runs until Friday so you should be in luck.

Thanks Mike

On the fence at Duxford. If anyone is at Waddo, a heads up would be great TIA, Pat

My walk round lens is the very sharp, if stopped down to f8 or 11, Canon EF-S 15-85mm, as long as you don't push it to 15mm (barrel distortion issue) it's a great, sharp lens for the money. Can be picked up second hand for around £150 to £200

Sale prices over, to Ebay we go..... OK, it's time to clear some space and de clutter. As part of this, I'm selling off a good portion of my Corgi collection. They are in Mint condition, some boxes have stored scuffs, some are mint. If you have a particular model you are interested in, I can email o...

I reckon that about 99% of FC members absolutely detest being classed as 'plane spotters', I know that I do, I'm an 'aviation enthusiast' and have been for over 5 decades. :) Does the successful applicant for the interview need to wear a camouflaged jacket covered with aviation patches, wear a base...
