FOR SALE Nikon 300mm f2.8 G ED VR and TC14EII teleconverter

Hi, Just going through an upgrade, so have put my 300mm f2.8 up for sale on EBay. Also the TC14E II I used with it. Both have been well used but still work fine. Service by Nikon would be a good idea - I had planned to do it before selling, but didn't get around to it. Any of my 'in flight' pix you ...

Re: RAF Lossiemouth 15-16th Oct 15

What if... it had a double engine failure? .... I'm sure it's slightly different for fast jet operations but by PPL manual states you should look to set down immediately ahead and on the runway, or if not possible, immediately after the runway" Blimey, could be bad news for folk using the M25 or th...

Cheers Andrew - yeah, but don't hang about fulfilling your list, if rumours are to be believed. Word on the hills was the Swiss AF would gladly avoid the hassle of managing a few thousand togs in alpine environments and make it a private affair, but local businesses are not happy as it brings in som...

Zoomer's Axalp and other places Swiss

It was my first time over at Axalp this year, and even though it was called off I had great guides in Axalp Andy and Richard (cheers guys) and so we were gonna be on the right track whatever happened. Four newbies and 2 old pros sounds like a recipe for disaster but it worked really well - and I had...

Thanks for the comments - sitting on the seabed playing with seal sounds darn awesome! I did the trip over a weekend - up friday afternoon/night, trip on saturday, rest and then drive home sunday - so it is possible even from Dorset, but pretty tiring. Main benefit is planning can be done a couple o...

Another Farnes Photo thread

Farnes seem to be a popular destination this week. I took the long drive up from Kent last week and did a trip out on Saturday - well worth it as always, but now I'm totally knackered! Will be sorting through pix this week, but here's a few I've processed and popped on Flickr already... Makes a nice...

Cosford - Hunting for the Light

Hi, A few from me from Cosford on sunday - pretty dire light at times meant a fair bit of creative editing was needed... so I haven't done many! As I've now given up, here's what I've managed... no particular order expect my faves put at the end. More to come if I get in the editing mood again... Ho...

Re: My own Global Power Mission 8th June 2015

Lovely set Rich. Worth getting up early for.

11, 12 an 13 are my faves - and for 17 I must have only been a few metres from you and didnt spot ya.
Then again, I was up at 0330 and was half asleep - still am.
