agreed! Hihonyr8811, the definition of "rubbish" is what comes out of MY camera - lots of blue sky with no aeroplanes! :((

Isn't she just

I do like a bare metal finish

Close second to camo and/or d-day stripes

Thanks btw

There is a reason for me calling it rubbish lol, I had horible focus problems, pretty sure my camera is on it's last legs

Or maybe it was just the weather lol

Helen are these vids taken with your camera or do have a camcorder aswell?

by **Hihonyr8811** » Mon Jul 13, 2009 9:37 pm

Yeah just with my normal camera (Fuji S5700)

Heres a few of my vids .

Mister Cooper, you are a never-ending
source of amazement! That plus you have
the God-given gift of Personal Altitude,
making you the ideal filming platform!
Whenever I watch a Cluney Vid, I just KNOW
I'm going to be seeing the TOPS of people's
HEADS!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Bliz!

Quite right SM

, but then how many DB powered ones have you seen flying

better Merlin than nought!

Thanks a million to all those who posted the fabulous Leg Ends pics, missed it again this year :((

still confined to barracks on the sick

Duxford is just the best IMHO.

Think you need to clean your sensor on your camera a bit

you mean that you can actually FIT under the bonnet of an Me109? i bet your arms ache after all that flapping don't they? =))

ACTUALLY, i saw 'Black Six' flying several times, before she back-flipped and was grounded

agreed though - although i only pointed out that it just isn't the 'real deal'
