I departed Stansted this morning and was sure that there were two UAE Boeing 747s on the ground. Does anyone have any idea of which ones they are please.

I would think one was A6-MMM which left this morning.
Brilliant thank you.

Re: Raf museum Hendon

I went in between Christmas & New Year as its been about 4 years since my last visit. There were loads of kids and families about which is good to see, especially if they get the historic part of aviation. Unfortunately, the likes of me don't spend much ££ there, so probably rely on families coming ...

RAW images are around 24mb each from memory.

My son still uses the camera.
Its not a big issue the size, it used to be, but a 128GB sandisk gives me thousands of pictures.

Re: Sony a77 pixel question

For me, I'd shoot full resolution without using the built in crop. Its easy to crop in post processing. Always RAW as its easier to manipulate and recover detail from shadows etc. Also the A77 is an older sensor and has higher levels of noise compared to modern mirrorless or full frame sensors. Usi...

Sony a77 pixel question

Hello Everyone, I just wanted to see if we have any experts in the field of pixels. The reason I ask is that I have just bought a second hand Sony a77. I'm really impressed as it takes good quality photos, & has 20 million pixels, more than enough for me. BUT, it has a feature which allows you to x1...

mmm...and where would they all fit?! :O :Wow: Your saying Fairfords not big enough?! :D Realistically you'd need 1750 feet of taxiway (31 foot wingspan & 8 foot between each jet), bravo taxiway is probably 9,000 feet long, not to mention the other hardstands. :) It would have been a sight! :Wow:

I've counted 19 static F-16's (purely down as S, ignoring any displays/possible spares) as well as 5 x C-17's! :O :Wow:

(I might have counted wrong, so if anyone else can have a crack :lol: )
It would have been nice to have got 50 F-16's seeing its the 50th anniversary

Someone put that they have a car park pass. Is that something you have to add or is this in the general admission ticket. I didn't choose any park and ride so assumed I could park in the car park.

I haven't been to RIAT in a while and wondered what it was like for the day trippers. Any advice on routes, carparks, times car parks open just to get there in good time to see everything in a day.
Many thanks.
