Flyer Forum Code of Conduct

At its best, the Flyer Forum continues to be a valuable resource for the General Aviation community

It is a place where flyers of all experience levels can meet to discuss and exchange up-to-date undistorted...

Set it up on slideshow and had an enjoyable 10 minute break from work.....again!

I do like gear retraction shots, particularly of Tornados and F16s . . . . . :wink:

Now that I have found an easier way of viewing and sharing photos that I have taken in RAW file format, without the need to convert them first. Which would you use as standard? RAW or JPEG (on fine rez). What is the difference between the two and...

Sorry it's taken so long - I Hope this works ??

Last Friday (4th July) I flew to Megeve in the C182 with FD. The aeroclub had organised a birthday party for the Mousquetaire which first flew 50 years ago to the day. Jean Delemontez the 'del' in Jodel, now 90, was there to see most of the world's...

Why do they colour the water (?) red?

Very nice to see a pic of the single seat conversion of the Yak 11. This machine was converted from an Egyptian Yak 11 by the late Pierre Dague and team at La Ferte Alais. It flew again for the first time in 1987. Pierre was later killed in a mid...

Pretty boring really but he's me landing a plane. :tongue:

Took some friends and their kids for their first ever GA experience today. I have to say that this is one of the things I love most about flying.

Just want to solicit some views from you chaps.....

My Wife has finally seen the light and wants to upgrade from a Canon EOS300 35mm to a DSLR.

We want to stick with Canon as we have a couple of lenses and are used to look 'n' feel. We do a...

Despite me being a Carp photographer, got quite a decent shot from above as I overtook :D you on the way back from Caernarfon.

Thought you might like a copy... Oh and boys, take the vests off :snooty: PM me if you want a full res version.

As we taxied to get out transponder looked at yesterday, we passed this little :shock: beast!

It lives in the hangar outside which our little PA28 was parked, so before it was put away a sneaked these.

Over the weekend 13-15 June we held a combined RAF At Home/dHMC Moth Rally and Charity Flying Weekend at RAF Halton.

Hi all,

Considering buying a 'cheap' digital camera to carry with me when flying to be able to capture some memories of our flights, rather than having to carry the expensive all singing all dancing camera we use for most photo work.

Anyone...

Arrival at Old Warden, my co-pilot and our passenger. He was a wireless engineer and told us the last time he had flown was in a Lancaster in 1945. We flew over North Luffenham, where he had been based for a time, which made his day.

More of the...

Awfully sorry old chap.

Will it fly this year . . . ? :wink:

In the late 1940/1950s The Ambassador to the USA had a mark 5 Proctor at his disposal, I am seeking a good colour pic of this A/C, & the colour scheme used, this is for a possible application to a Mk5 restoration.
Can anyone out there please...

I haven't posted in ages on here (although I've been lurking) and I thought you might enjoy these.

Taken this Tuesday evening past, during which a very nice man I know took me up in his Cub :-)

Saturday found John Morris doing a test flight in his delightful Pietenpol Air Camper . . .

It was pissing down when I arrived at the strip, but with the vast East Anglian skyscape it was easy to see that it was only a thin band of shower and it would soon bustle through.

Sure enough it cleared by the time I'd done the fuel checks...

It was a good week at OW despite the temperature gradually lowering as the week went on. The soft ground around the parking area precluded getting some of the heavier types out.

DH Tiger Moth, Klemm behind and Desoutter just visible...

Just a few pics before I gave up and come home.

The bacon butties were wonderful. Oh, that's a Rearwin Cloudster in the background.

No the prop hasn't stop, shutter speed too fast . . . :oops:

For the RAF anniversary, RAF Honington managed to arrange a flypast by the Red Arrows and the Typhoons. My son took the photos

I think my head is about to explode trying to work this out, but I think I'm there now and it seems quite simple looking back.

Most of my photography is landscape and I have had 2 x 10Ds (wife is also a keen photographer and we share) for a few...

SIA380 landed on 27L at approx 1439 this afternoon to launch Singapore Airlines commercial services with into Europe with the type.
