One of the reasons I walked away from base visits. Arrogant tw*ts standing on ladders in front of everyone when not really needed. One of them at Fairford arrivals a few years ago said "I've travelled miles to get here and I'm not missing the shot." So, basically up yours ! A reflection of modern li...

I Like that a lot, a nicely composed and exposed shot. One that works for me.
The colours in the background really show how well that camouflage works, and strangely make it stand out at the same time.
Cheers.

If you want to view arrivals I would go on Wednesday as a very large proportion of participants will arrive that day. Some display validation will also take place. Thursday is usually for the rest of the arrivals and most of the display validation flights. Friday is basically a mini airshow. The 27 ...

Love them mate especially the head on shot. Has your hearing come back yet after this one? Nice post processing by the way and guess what, I actually love these things. I've always liked big flaps hanging down If you know what I mean. I think they will grow on people as we get used to seeing them, m...

Tankbuster and Toom Thanks for the info and warning.I did think these things would be a bit dodgy after connecting them up.I would also think they would be very bright. I still fancy having a go though. One of my neighbours is into old radios and has a working set from a Lancaster.He even uses the m...

Hi I'm sorry I can't help with your query but would like to ask how you powered up your light. I have a couple of lights in my "junk/treasure" collection,depending on your point of view.One is a red circular beacon,labelled up as from a Jaguar and the other is a clear strobe as used on fast jets suc...

I sometimes wonder what it would be like in the future.Would there be a spotters corner full of people,waiting patiently for the arrival of a detachment of UAVs from Spangdahlem? Would we drive hundreds of miles to mid Wales in the hope of seeing a fast jet with no pilot onboard and who would hand o...

Hi peeps I thought it was about time I put some of my stuff on here so here are some slides from Fairford 1985. From the good old days when summer was summer! http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6131/5984201727_c5dec1f96f_b.jpg JUL_85_38 by WTF_WAS_THAT , on Flickr http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6020/598...

First of all I hope this works! http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6133/5963973325_e79a01d456_b.jpg 06_21_11 054_1 by WTF_WAS_THAT , on Flickr http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6140/5963977581_d164bc674a_b.jpg 06_21_11 060_1 by WTF_WAS_THAT , on Flickr Here are a couple of recent captures over my garden. I...

After seeing the photos of the Hercs on the motorway I got thinking.That would make the ultimate caravan to annoy other road users. I don't need the wings or engines and it comes complete with wheels. Seriously though,It breaks my heart to see these magnificent beasts reduced to this. http://www.edi...
