Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2024 General Discussion Thread

Reported and photos on here. I think if you put Gnat or Combine in the search you'd find it. Too busy with granddaughter at moment to look.

Re: Red Arrows 60 Season new markings

I have just looked at the 50th scheme and at least the fin surface was fully utilised. Apart from a half Union flag and 60th decals, thats' it for this one. Nothing to dislike but nothing special either.

Re: 18-03-2024

I don't have 40 hours either not before or after I retired. But rumours get you nowhere except possibly on wild goose chases and building false hopes. A lesson I learned both in and away from work. I think you will find that many here have jobs too. They also take heed of real information before set...

Let's face it - a rear shot of a jet in reheat is not going to be sharp - just enjoy the jelly! Plus it's a Jaguar so who's worrying about the image quality :D

No you're OK - it is for new members trying to boost their post count with "nice pics" etc rather than meaningful and/or useful contributions so they can get access to the heads-up sections. At various times it has been a minimum of 5/10/15 posts.

Re: Upgrade to mirrorless or full frame?

Not used the RF 100-400 but it depends whether you consider the 4x price-tag worth the extra 100mm. Personally I would have kept the EF 100-400 as it is generally considered better than the RF100-400 (L-glass vs non-L) and on a par with the RF100-500 L (as I advised earlier).
