Apologies for the delay in posting pics, my computer now says DISK BOOT FAILURE no matter which sata cable or socket I use. Even tried two different SSDs, both of which have W boot on them.
I can't access my hosting site or any other of my usual tools from Mrs Airspeed's machine. Went to the tip yesterday, but no computers whatever in the skip. :|
If I bought a new motherboard, my "old" CPU won't plug into it, so upgrading would be costly. Waiting game......

Very sorry to read the bad news, Mike.

I use my phone for most everything now..

I turned on the gaming laptop a few weeks ago ( flirting with the idea I would get some T&G's in not having done any simming for eons) and the screen had purple ish hue.
:(

How was the show?

Might see some or maybe one static Jindivik?

Keith, this is the only pic I have, it is in the RAN Museum at Nowra. I posted it here years ago, but the links now go to a defunct provider.

Thanks for posting that, MikeW. :thumbsup:
There were no Jindiviks at the show, but I spoke to a bloke from the Benalla Museum. They have one there, and offer flights in a Moth Minor or Winjeel, so I might visit!


Joe, Great thanks, but stinking hot and windy. Had lunch under the wing of a B52, walked inside a Kawasaki C2, and got deafened by an F35 belting around with a bunch of Super Hornets. They don't need weapons, the noise is enough.

As I mentioned to Brian, my computer is working again for now. :worried:
Table is strewn with HDDs SSDs and cables, but it is going. :)
I've been able to resurrect the website software, and have inserted the Avalon 2019 photos.
The originals are 91.1Mb each, and the only way I could make them a reasonable size was to reduce them to 256 colours and shrink them to max 2000 pixels wide. If anyone has better ideas, PLEASE let me know. :thumbsup:
If you'd like to see them, click on the link below, Choose Airports, airshows & fly-bys, then Avalon 2019, where there's a menu for various categories. Videos not yet uploaded.
I THINK I've discovered an improvement; leave at 16 million colours and cut the size way down:

Might have to do them all again :doh: :doh:
