I do not think the aperture would make a lot of difference Mike. The ISO might make a tiny difference. As to the speed - it's a law of diminishing returns. If you half the speed I doubt you will get twice as sharp an image.
Now to the bit that really defeats me.
The top aircraft photographers are using exposures in the order of 1/100 seconds to get real prop blur, and still producing crystal clear images of airframes.
Bit like sports photographers getting sharp motorcycle shots with blurred wheels? One difference is head on, fortunately most prop powered planes are not fst enough, head on to spoil depth, yet a slow shutter will still provide blur and "freeze" the fuselage.I do not think the aperture would make a lot of difference Mike.

They have proved it can be done. So the only how, is how?

I'm sure that the points raised about the virtues of different battery types are sound.
The fact remains that if you are in the market for general purpose re-chargeables (which will work in your AA powered camera or flash gun) you could do worse than these.
Your reasoning is absolutely sound. I have used many types of rechargeables over the years. Only as far back as 2004, you could get reasonable NiMH's but you could not get fast chargers. My father and I built our own chargers using the Maxim 712 IC, by fast, I mean 20 to 30 minutes from flat. Today I use commercial, programmable FAST chargers.My post was aimed at people, like myself, who use NiMH batteries to power all manner of devices.

All of which must work from 12vDC.
I still use various types in the istD, Oly C3040 and a pair of 7Hi's plus flashguns.
M&S don't sell what I need, 7Dayshop, Aldi. Liddl and Netto do.
Keep on chargin...

It will hold it's value! I did not want to play down the combination.
You are happy with it and that's all that matters.
When your happy with kit, you get more out of it.

Seems a lot to outlay to achieve a 510mm f/8, we are talking 200 plus or there abouts?
I do not doubt the quality at all but loosing two stops is a bit of an issue.
