Re: F1 2024
"you can't just change the rules cos it suits." Unfortunately the powers that be that run F1 do change the rules to suit their narrative when it suits. We've seen it a few times over the last few seasons. Abu Dhabi 2021 being a prime example. This is one reason F1 fans are turning away from the spor...

Canadians at Newquay
A couple of Canadian visitors have called in to Newquay over the last few days. Firstly on 12th a CP140 , which I believe had an issue on its way to RIAT. Then on Sat.15th a CC177 paid a visit with, I guess, support for the Aurora. It gave me a chance to ensure my camera didn't have any adverse effe...

Re: The Ashes 2023
England lost by just 43 runs, that's probably the runs that they failed to get in the first innings thanks to some undisciplined batting from the top order when they were getting into a good position to put some pressure on the opposing team.

Excellent set. You got more colour than I managed, and great prop blur.
Between us I think we managed a good record of their brief visit

C12's @ Exeter
A couple of record shots of yesterday's visit of two 's C12V 's from the US Army at Exeter for a quick gas n' go. Grey airplanes against a nondescript sky doesn't make for the most exciting of photos. Irrespective of that they were very welcome visitors to this end of the country, please come back a...

Re: Kings birthday flypast / practice
Gah, it's just a one shot affair. No re-dos. Anyone got photos from a previous flypast up the mall that gives an idea of what the view is like from the river? This was taken at last year Queen's Platinum Jubilee flypast from the Millennium Bridge using a 300mm. It is a decent location away from the...

Re: DAUPHIN2.COM - SPOTTERS BOOKS
It didn't work for me initially, but persistence won in the end.
When it eventually works it takes you to a Paypal payment page and just go from there.
Just to add, I ordered it on Sat 10/06 p.m. and it came in this morning's post (12/06).
Great service, Ty

Nice exhibition drive from Max, but, well done to Mercedes and Lewis winning the actual race.

Re: Italians again
These were not taken in Cawsand Bay but from the western side of The Narrows (I'm guessing from the fortifications there in Mount Edgcumbe Park?) opposite Devil's Point. This would be the optimum place to shoot from after midday, despite the fact that we were lucky with the light on Friday. Spot on...
