Re: Wednesday 14-09-2022

It wasn’t broken when the guidelines where originally followed. It’s been lax Modding by the whole team allowing the guidelines to go out the window. Why is it that most other sections ie LN, Coningsby etc can post tracking info in the correct area. Yet the Fairford want to do their own thing. If i...

Re: NOTAM Thursday 08-09-2022

I'm really missing NOTAMs posted in this Fairford section.... Sorry to many others but I'm 100% in agreement with this - in the HU section it so easily gets lost under posts with several pages of movements such as Lakenheath and the like and with different thread titles each day it can be hard to f...

For Sale: Vortex 8x42 Razor UHD Binoculars - 3 years old

I've had these for the past 3 years and this quality of optic is sadly being wasted for the amount of use they get. The rubber armour is almost unmarked, the optics are clean and free from any scratches but there is a tiny particle of debris inside the right hand barrel which does not affect the ima...

For Sale: Canon mk2 1.4x & 2x Extenders & a few CF cards. (NOW SOLD)

Both extenders come complete with genuine Canon pouch, Lenscoat Camo protective strip, original 'extra deep' body cover - not just the one for DSLR bodies, and have seen very little use so are in excellent condition as the images (on link) will show. Sorry, the original boxes are long gone http://ww...

Re: RAF Cosford Air Show 2022

A bit late I know but just to advise that the M42 is down to 2 lanes between junctions 5 and 6 for major roadworks this weekend.
Came through south at about 6pm tonight and was 50mph all the way so no real delay.

Thought it might be worth flagging up in case it does get busy tomorrow.

Didn't get anything other than a rear 3/4 view of Black 02 as I was driving near Buscot about 5pm but it appeared to be lacking a dorsal pod?

Re: For Sale: Canon 1DX, Canon 300 f2.8 L IS & Canon 700D (Now SOLD)..

300 is the Mk1 version. Most of the mk2 I saw when looking around for pricing were north of £2.5k.

I doubt it using that callsign? They normally use Dragonxx when transiting don't they?
On the 14th June'21 80-1066 returned to the USA as "Black01" so if they've done it once they may do it again.
Many thanks for putting me straight Graham :thumb:

Anyone want to make sensible offers for either the 1DX or 300 2.8??

Sadly the combined weight of the 1Dx and 300 2.8 has finally got the better of me and after 2 back surgeries they need to be found new homes... :'( The 1DX is in pretty good condition and has <44000 shots on the counter and comes boxed with all accessories (straps & leads untouched) also dual charge...

Re: Camera and optics insurance

I get all mine covered on the all-risks part of my contents insurance with NFU - covers accidental damage as well up to an agreed single item limit (which I can choose) - obvs affects premium the higher unit item you choose but better be safe than sorry.

Re: Anyone bought from Camera Jungle?

I believe CJ to be something to do with Jessops. Can't work it out for sure but would suggest they are the outlet for a lot of the Jessops 2nd hand kit. CJ sitelinks to Jessops and the Jessops site describes CJ as a "Partner" site.

Re: Red Arrows transits today and tomorrow

They can add today to the "variations in route" then as they've just gone right OTT me just north of Burford and according to route weren't supposed to be within at least 5 miles to the NW. :whistle:
