They're working fine for me, and I'm usually the one having trouble with the pics. :-?

One Olympus 301 has twice the power of a complete F1 starting grid.
XM655 has four of them, all serviceable.

Interesting I can't see the photo in the link either X(

Thought it might be a Chrome problem but I can't view it in IE9 either.

I've just looked through Milek post and I can't see any of his photos in any threads, I used to be able to! :-?

Pam, in the picture below I right clicked on Milek's picture tp bring up the properties. In Firefox there is a tick box to block pictures from Milek's server (it's bottom left above the wording "media preview" ). Is there anything like that in Chrome or IE. I don't use either of them so I have no idea - it's just a thought.

When this aircraft was being developed,
or more accurately "dreamed up", just
about everything about it was totally
unexplored territory -- to include the
ENGINES.......

Hats off to Pratt & Whitney for taking
chances and stretching the bounds of
what was previously only theoretically
possible!

Question: Will any of us in our lifetimes
ever see an aircraft capable of outdoing
the Blackbird?

I really don't know........
