A month or so back my brother asked if I’d like to go to Duxford for the Airshow. The answer was immediate, yes (as I like aircraft). So imagine my disappointment when after getting the ticket I found out it was ‘Flying Legends’ ie old stuff.

Now I like shiny new jet planes, so faced with a day of old planes I thought I might get bored.

An early start was required, though I thought 06:30 was too early. In the end it proved to be the best time to go. Roads were fairly quiet so we got there about 08:30. The thing to remember about an airshow is to get the right pitch. We found a gap and quickly got the chairs.

There is a fair amount to do at Duxford. The US aircraft display hall, Land battle Hall, Static Aircraft and Something called ‘Air Space’. Though the latter was closed. Pity as they have a Concorde in there.

Also prior to the show you can get closer to the display aircraft for an additional £4 (Which is a fair amount). So to kill an hour or so, I went and took a few shots Airside.

Lunch/Hunger conveniently arrived then. Continue reading “IWM Duxford”

The internet is big, very big. In fact so big It’s quite easy to get lost. Well when I say lost I really mean ‘some twat will piss away large sums of money on a supposed bargain when in fact they are being shafted’.

There are many scams about. We all know the main ones phishing emails and dodgy deals on auction sites. Lately the scammers have tried a new tactic.

The new scams are websites selling current luxury electronic goods at what seems to almost half price. Many people are used to the Hong Kong sellers with ex Vat and Duty prices, but these new breed are a piss take. Take this…..

It’s late and I’m bored. Just processed a few images. Quite like this one.

Thought I’d share it with the world. Well the 4 people that visit my blog.

It can’t be just me (I know it isn’t), but the number of businesses and services that have duff websites is quite amazing. I won’t name names though.

One is an insurance website that specialises in photography (amongst many other specialties). For a site that aims to attract photographers, you’d think the site would would well with Safari. No it’s fairly crap, as well as not liking Safari it doesn’t work well with Firefox (Mac or PC). Once you’re passed the initial screen, it is better. Still crap, but at least its navigation works.

End of mini rant.
