Re: SENTINEL R1
Basically economics by bean counters. Alot of the work is done by drones in theatre. A real shame, but another nail in the coffin.

Airband Radio wanted
Hello All
I have recently got back into Mil Aviation photography. I have an old PSR 295 she works well but the led read out keeps going blank I suspect a loose connection. I would like to buy a new one but am these days clueless as to the best for your buck.
Any advice welcome
