Re: The Outrageous Wales Week

Hi Walter, Don't worry too much about auto focus speeds. Indeed, there were a few 1D's en 5D's up there, but also many 30D's, 40D's en 50D's. Mind you, there were even four Nikons up there.... ;-) If you use the small freeware tool Opanda iExif 2, you can see the camera and photo details (e.g. Exif...

I assume there must have been a lot of 1-series and 5-series bodies overthere... To all: all amazing shots!! I really ...

WoW, I would also like to see this restored Sabre flying :!: I assume the chances for these Canadians to come to Europe are very very small... :( PS: I saw a Sabre in a similar c/s many years ago, while traveling through Canada, mounted on a pole: http://images.fotopic.net/yr8tlf.jpg Best regards, W...

Yes, the new high fence is finished from beginning to the end of the runway so steps are really needed except on the small hill with the BAe Systems hangar. Today I brought a 3-step stairs and it was sufficient for most situations.
Thanks for the feedback, Peter!

Best regards,
