Antwerp by Fokker 50, attempt 2 (successful!)

Some of you may remember last year I posted my holiday snaps from Antwerp. I had persuaded my significant other this would be a nice place to visit so I could get on a derivative of my favourite "classic, non-British" aeroplane and the first aircraft I ever flew on (the Fokker 27), the Fok...

Re: Flugplatz Fest St.Stephan 2019 (photos)

Interesting! I heard some of the guys talking, but I didn't get a chance to speak to any of the pilots myself, so I wasn't sure where they had come from. I did overhear their route and how many stops they made along the way. They must have taken off in pretty bad weather, but curiously, as soon as I...

Re: Flugplatz Fest St.Stephan 2019 (photos)

When I used to shoot on film, you had a finite (and relatively small) number of pics you could take on a given day and they had a certain cost and delay associated with them. With digital you become lazy, especially if you have a large flash card but you pay for it in poring over (very slowly becaus...

Re: Flugplatz Fest St.Stephan 2019 (photos)

Eric, yes they are. Unfortunately I didn't get any "sharp" pics of those so hence not posted. This is the first airshow I've been to this year and I'm out of practice. I didn't have the best luck with the light either due to the weather, so of about 500 shots, these were pretty much the on...

Flugplatz Fest St.Stephan 2019 (photos)

Photos from the annual air show at St. Stephan in Switzerland, formerly known as "Hunterfest". Quite a few classic aircraft, many British. Highlight this year was a number (8 or so?) of Tiger Moths that were flown in (in multiple legs) from England. Unfortunately I set off later than plann...

Re: Two years.

Remembering Dave and the others we have lost from this forum, in addition to the list mentioned above, all of whom I knew and chatted to, I believe the first was a gent called Ivor possibly with the handle "panshanger" who had previously served in the first Iraq war. Although I probably fi...

Re: Malaysia Airline Flight MH370

Well the way my theory went, you noticed you have a fire and you turn, you then suffer a depressurisation and perhaps you don't make it down to a safe altitude in time before you lose consciousness or become otherwise incapacitated. I had seen that plot, it's in the New Yorker article. Certainly the...

Re: Aero Expo Friedrichshafen 2019

Thanks for all the comments - I can probably dig out some more (but less CBFsim related) images from the event if anyone's interested?
