This event begs the question, If these aircraft have such close radio communication with each other, why has no such radio conversation been reported in the press? EG: "Red leader, I have a problem."

The pilot had just completed an air display and was queued up to land, he seemingly made no attempt to eject, he steered his aircraft away from civilians and farm animals, and crashed alongside the river Stour. I know my theory.
Which is?
It would not be appropriate to air it.

Apparently a fault in the aircraft ...
Where did this information come from Mike?

I've done a fair bit of aerial photography in a Piper Warrior. OK, it's not a helicopter, but the flying height will be similar. The lens I used the most was an old FA 28-200mm ED/IF lens and I got some reasonable results, even through the scatched and dirty plexyglass windows.

You might be lucky and have a 'copter with an opening window.

Just don't forget, 'Clunk, click', you'll not want to fall out. Not more than one anyway.

The technical name is a 'Long black legged, black spotted, hairy orange bug, with enormous eyes, thing'

Great capture and challenging, I'm sure.

It's life Jim, but not as we know it. Well done.

I suspect a typo in the price. One too many 9's.

it would make SO much more sense to flash the display
Agreed. HSS mode is not available with the built-in flash anyway.

You're right Matt, there is no overexposure indication under those circumstances, but with exposure mode set to M, you do see the manual meter in the viewfinder which does show overexposure.

Perhaps one way to temporarily resolve this is to set the flash to HSS?

You'd have less flash power available, and a minimum shutter speed of 1/100th, but at least you'd get the shot.

And if you use a router the IP will be the same for the laptop and the PC.
All I know is it would let me use the Serial number a third time even on the same router. I therfore had to Deacivate the software on one machine in order to get it working on another.
There is no option to deactivate Lightroom, and I've loaded my one copy about 5 times after reloading a PC/Laptop.

Photoshop et al are different, they will allow a third installation only once one of the two previous installs has been deactivated. This of course is not possible if a HDD dies and is replaced. The remedy then is to call Adobe (Telephone numbers appear during the activation process).
