Re: Canon R7 "Black out"

Possibly caused by electromagnetic interference of the camera by equipment on the aircraft. Here’s a link to an article about the presence of magnets in cameras and lenses and their susceptibility to magnetic fields - https://www.tamaggo.com/2023/08/24/are- ... agnetized/

Re: Appeal for pics of The Gazelles CFS Heli Display Team

The Imperial War Museum have some colour film in their archive. Depending upon how desperate you are and any cost, you may be able to get some stills from it? Here's a link to their archive record -
