I'm in the process of developing a lighting kit for the D7, code is written, just need to down load it to a microprocessor chip and test it. If your interested it will scroll through the different flight modes from impulse thru to warp. Should be ready in about 2 weeks or so. Cheers, Warren |

Went to Hemswell airfield today, a former bomber base about 15 miles from Lincoln, for the car boot sale. Picked up an Italeri 72 B58 Hustler, & also won a tanker trailer on e bay for the truck kit I'm building. I also picked a 1970 flying helmet, with the name Sqn Ldr Tweddle inside, complete with visor, & visor protector, for the princely sum of 3 quid!!! :o

You may mock young Monkster, but a quick look on e bay, has revealed the same mark of helmet, a Mk1a, without the visor, for the princely sum of 270 squiddly diddlies!!!!

Well, I finally did it I treated myself to a second hand Canon EOS 1D IIN. I know its an older one but its in immaculate condition and a bargain price. I bought it from a reputable canon dealer/specialist so Im hoping it will have no real problems. All the reviews say this is the one the sports/nature people use so should be perfect for spotting. Ive always wanted an EOS1 ever since I started out spotting properly using a film camera. I could only ever afford an EOS 100 which did me superbly and I still have it. I then moved onto my EOS 30D which again was second hand and apart from the shite on the sensor which is now gone is a good'n. I bought the 500D brand new but always found it lacking but still did a good job whilst the 30D was out of action. My 500D will now go to my Uncle who has always wanted a decent DSLR as his bridge camera wasnt up to what he wanted. The 30D will now be my spare to the EOS1D. I was going to part ex the 2 but figured I got this for such a good price I would keep them and use/part with them accordingly. Sorry to waffle but Im a tad excited :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D |

Nice one, Shaun. Great camera. I used to be a Canon shooter back in the film days. (EOS10). Now I'm strictly Nikon (D7000) :rolleyes: I hope some day to get my hands on the Nikon equivalent to yours. :D Enjoy your new purchase. |

Calm down dear, it's only a ruddy camera and not a new tool 1/48th Su-22. So we can now expect lots of real aeroplane photos then, yes? |

Ive now just picked up a new military aircraft serials listings book. Ive decided now my shift is changing and I will have more time at home I will start spotting properly again. I used to enjoy it but with my current shift I spent my time either working or sleeping. I prefer This book as apposed to some others as it is more comprehensive and my last one comes with a nice clear jacket so it dosn't get all buggered up. |
