North Wales Meet 2015
Hello Stu Apologies for the late reply. I mistakenly thought that the event at Fort Belan was on Saturday and Sunday, with you planning on attending the Saturday. Of course I've cocked-up, now realising it's Sunday/Monday :oops: Whilst Saturday would (seemingly so far), been a great day weath...

Croft Nostalgia Weekend, August 8-9
So we didn't meet up, Barrie, but you did spot me! Mobile reception was poor all weekend - particularly troublesome on Sunday, when Mrs A wandered off with my car keys and I was unable to locate her. It was nice to make Simon Harrison's acquaintance on Sunday and I hope it won't be too long befo...

Wings & Wheels, Dunsfold Aerodrome 29th/30th August.
Went last year, great apart from the exit procedure from the car parks...wrong weekend this year so will be going to Shoreham instead the week before. Got there rather late last year due to the traffic queues and found the pay-cash queues too long as we both needed the loos VERY badly - so went to t...

Eastbourne Airshow. 13th-16th Aug - anyone thinking of going?
As above - info Sort of thinking about watching from somewhere on Beachy Head, because I will only have the 150-500 Sigma (Slow!) as a long lens since I won't get the 100-300 back from Sigma for another week or so! NB: XH558 will only be there on Saturday (15th)

22nd-23rd Aug - Shoreham Airshow anyone?
Afternoon. Saturday definitely for us as well - I'll be bringing the K-3, the K-5 as backup, and hopefully the 100-300 Sigma which I will (again, hopefully!) be picking up from Sigma Imaging this afternoon now that it has had the board replaced to fix the back-focus problem (got to take the K-3 to...

22nd-23rd Aug - Shoreham Airshow anyone?
I am back home, but I was at Goring last night.... I was at the north end of the crowd - having been dismayed how many people were there - viewing was difficult with all the seats. I parked at the south entrance, and in spite of the announcements people were able to leave from around 3pm from ...

22nd-23rd Aug - Shoreham Airshow anyone?
"Coincidently Rod was the Flying Director at Shoreham yesterday, and (knowing just a little of his history in the aviation business) I doubt he would have sanctioned any manoeuvres that had a remote chance of ending like this one did. So I'm suspecting a combination of pilot error (too low and slow ...

22nd-23rd Aug - Shoreham Airshow anyone?
Hi John, ...One thing Hunters are prone to is stalling if put in too tight a turn (angle of attack increases too much and destroys the lift over the wing). What I thought I saw was an increase in pitch attitude (realisation of being too low to complete the loop so pulling back on the stick more) th...

22nd-23rd Aug - Shoreham Airshow anyone?
No apologies necessary, John, I am the same, and somewhat analytical - must be the job! But sometimes I think we try to make things too safe for everyone and forget we also need to 'live' a little as well. If this became an everyday occurrence at airshows then I agree, but a one off is a tragic even...

22nd-23rd Aug - Shoreham Airshow anyone?
By this I mean is it possible that the loop (can't remember its name, but the 'climb/roll inverted/pull under back down the crowd line' manoeuvre) was meant to be performed slightly later over the fields along the river Adur, which was just another hole in the cheese? Dave Dave I think I gath...

Sheffield Lights
I cannot make the 18th as I'm off to see the Damned that night. I trust you'll be recording the occasion with a Spotmatic, or perhaps a K1000... I would struggle with film Simon, I have to confess to never taking a camera to a gig (other than a phone). I prefer to watch and listen to the band whil...

Anyone up for a 'One Lens Challenge'?
OK everyone, so it is the 7th February in Sheffield for our 'Single Lens, Single Camera' challenge. It looks like we have a decent sized group so it should be a great day. I would suggest we meet in the City Centre at 10:00am, does everyone know where the stainless steel balls are outside the Win...

Anyone up for a 'One Lens Challenge'?
Would you believe, you can't get there much before midday on a Sunday. There is an earlier train but there's no connecting service to it. So I'm going to have to sit this one out. Sorry about that folks. Come anyway, it'll probably be 11 before leave the station and the 1st point of call is literal...

Thinking of visiting a number of Southern airshows this year - anyone else interesting in doing the same?
Keep missing out on Cosford, I'd love to see the museum again. RIAT and Farnborough are certainly on my horizon this year. never done Fairford yet, but did do Farnborough in 2014. Been a while since I've been to Flying Legends, I love the old warbirds, but having seen the sad incident at Shoreha...

London, Tuesday 24th May Evening?
Not saying I will come along (probably not) but London is a very big place (Sheffield may be big, but London is a LOT bigger!) , so it might help if you said roughly where you are likely to be - then "locals" to that area might respond positively, and possibly suggest some places to go/shoot/drink (...

Ingleborough cave, Clapham, North Yorkshire 15th October
Hello all, Ages ago I mentioned that the cave is opened up for photography, unfortunately they never got back to me with details. However, I have just seen a photo day day advertised on their website. Looks interesting. I am booking my place now. :D Let me know if you decide to go. Da...

Ingleborough cave, Clapham, North Yorkshire 15th October
Spent most of the day down Ingleborough cave with another nice forum member psburnley. Had a great time. It was good to meet peter. I felt a little overawed by the textures created by the limestone and probably did not get as many photos as I could. Still they said we can go back again when the ...

The Photography Show at NEC Birmingham
What's 'Comic Con? Its the same one as at Liverpool was this weekend. Lots of people very happy to have photos taken. Crowded though, I went in with the DA 16-50 attached to my K3ii, I ended up swapping to a 10-17 as I could not get far enough back even at 16mm. A few examples from yesterday (K...
