I just read this article on the subject. A very interesting read too.

Hi all, I'm still undecided on which camera to go for. I quite like the attraction of an all in one bridge camera, but it's just that long range zoom quality that I'm not sure about. I'm just wondering which cameras can go long range without suffering from a deterioration in image quality. The searc...

One camera I've looked at was a Nikon Coolpix P900. Has anyone used, or able to give their thoughts on this model?

Cheers,

The cameras which I currently use are a Nikon Coolpix L340, and a Canon SX170. Both cameras are good for portraits, close ups and landscapes. However, at long range and against fast moving objects the cameras clarity really deteriorates. My favourite of the two is the canon for its size and ease of ...

Hi,

Yeah that's a good point. Daft head aren't I .

Total spend is the £400-£500 mark.

Cheers!

Hi all, Before posting this I've been trawling through old posts looking for advice on a budget DSLR set up for a newbie. I'm just looking for a DSLR which can be used for all round photography plus a lens for all round photography and another zoom lens for the occasional fast aircraft shot. I'm not...

John was a childhood favourite of mine who's books and programmes were always a go to reference for tips on fishing, many of them are still put to good use today!

Tight lines John.

I think it's now down to around 20 airworthy Tonkas?

Great pics there! Me and my son were on the walk too, we had a really enjoyable day. Sad to see some of those FGR.2s looking in such a sad state, I believe they are all up for sale on the Everett Aero website. I also noticed several Tornado front windscreen assemblies lined up on the ground along wi...

Great show on Thurs, but I couldn't make Fri :( . Highlights for me from Thurs were the Hangar 11 Mustang (some superb manoeuvres from that) & The Great War Display team :thumbs: . The Reds were good, but it certainly wasn't the best display I've ever seen them do. I think the patchy cloud was causi...

One of my most vivid memories of 1980's low flying is when a solo Phantom FGR.2 from 56sqn at Wattisham was flying circuits around Brightlingsea in Essex one afternoon. It was flying a triangular circuit and it went around several times before bu@@ering off! The noise was incredible and it was so lo...

Not seen any sign of a gun on the aircraft. I had a good look at this pic of the F-35B and couldn't see any guns at all ...

Clear blue skies here in Colchester and was hitting 30 degrees at 09.30 this morning.
No sign of any storms yet, but I could see the high anvils out to the west which were the storms floating up the western edge of East Anglia this morning.

I could answer this with many aircraft, but if I had to be hard on myself and strictly just pick three I'd go with these...

Avro Vulcan
A-10 Thunderbolt II
Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird

Move to Valley ?

Realistically, I think this would be VERY high on the list for where the Reds would re-locate to. We shall see...

Could the Reds go to Wattisham?..

Many thanks for the info, hopefully its going to remain in the UK and eventually take to the skies again one day. A lovely aircraft!

Thinking about how long it takes to tweak out the gremlins in new aircraft projects then I think this design will probably be coming online way past 2035 and no doubt with increasing costs too!

Perhaps F-35As would be a more sensible and cost effective way to go.

Hi all, I was reading an article in an old Flypast mag from Feb 2015 about the above P-38 which was imported into the UK from Australia. The aircrafts last known whereabouts was in the care of Richard Grace at Bentwaters. I know that the Graces' no longer operate from Bentwaters, but whatever happen...
