Re: Tampa Bay Airfest

Typical US commentary. Comparing to the UK’s Ben I’m going to go on and on and on, confirms the theory that all commentators should pipe down and let us hear the aircraft.Day two is streaming now, I gave up on the TB’s last night after 1 1/2 hours of them faffing about before they departed.

Long distance Apache's Farewell Tour. 25.3.24

Hoping that the flight would visit some of the local training haunts on route but alas it was not to be. Late running meant a dusk arrival and landing at Wattisham so I opted for from the front door shot if they flew straight up from Colchester via Hadleigh to Wattisham. Long distance and not the be...

I felt the title should have “mission impossible” in it somewhere.

Re: F1 2024

So Albon bins it in FP1 and writes his car off. Williams haven't brought enough spares to repair. He must be out then? Nope, he's now driving Logan Sargeants car for the rest of the weekend... Unbelievable, though kind of understandable. Last sentence sounds like: it’s totally believable it is F1 a...

Re: Upgrade to mirrorless or full frame?

Having tried most formats the 1DX is great for all styles of action photography. The 1DX MK III is a mirrorless camera in live view, it’s probably the best full frame camera ever made, yet still pricy. Have to say I never got on with the 7D MK2 in anything other that perfect light, so moved it on qu...

Was it Lyon or Lille? Commentator mentioned both. Think

Re: 6 Nations 2024

I thought England played very well against a french team lifted by a vocal home crowd Good championship - no triple crown and no grand slam so honours fairly even. Italy have been a revelation this term. I have been very critical of them in the past saying they shouldn't even be in the six nations ...
