  1. With the possibility of a load of criticism heading my way, may I point you in the direction of this topic: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/95825-changing-car-tyres-after-a-spin/ A little bit of my own mishap while out on a drive. Mistake made, lessons learnt and a trip to the local garage. Michael
  2. Ok so just a couple of quick edits to start with. The first one I just had to post, Vulcan XH558 flying in formation with the Red Arrows for the final time yesterday; a moment to remember. The second shot is the Belgian F-16 solo display; a firm favourite of mine and many airshow regulars. _DSC5042 by Michael Woolford, on Flickr Vulcan XH558 in formation with the Red Arrows _DSC5345 by Michael Woolford, on Flickr Belgian F-16 solo display Thanks for letting me post Simon, I will add a few more at the weekend when I get the chance.

  3. I was thinking of posting a few of my own when I get the time; some 2000 photos from yesterday to sort through! Maybe I'll start my own thread at the weekend once my reports for university are finally finished. Glad you enjoyed it, was my first riat even though it's only down the road. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be going next year. Just Bournemouth left this year for me and sadly the last time I'll see the Vulcan. Michael
  4. On a big yellow train...

  5. That's the end of top gear then...

      Good news is with the loss

      Oh I think I know where the budgets going - anyone not seen the news, ex Footballer Dion Dublin joins the BBCs Homes Under The Hammer. You couldn't make it up with the BBC anymore.

      Biggest mistake ever. He brought that show from the brink to being the best motoring show on the planet. I have no doubt other tv network will be offering mega buck to the three for a new motoring show. It's dead cert ratings.

  6. Simon, The area you describe has become aan electrification training school; this explains the unconnected lines. Things are still being worked on and work has been ongoing in that area for some months now. I've had a good view of what's been going on as the office overlooks the entire area. I will try and get some photos from the office with a decent sized lens and may even venture out towards the main road and underbridge. Hope this helps. Michael
  7. I don't normally edit my photos to add effects, but this one I think, looks quite nice.
  8. The below reply from Steve on a similar question asked previously may be of some interest. Should hopefully save Steve from writing out another lengthy reply! Michael
  9. More train than landscape in this one, but a sense of speed to make up for it. (300mm effective 450mm at 1/30th second)
  10. This signalling assignment for uni has fried my brain.

  11. Need to remember not to inhale when opening a bottle of butanone.

  12. Very unpleasant scenes in Glasgow, always the worst time of year too.

      Quite awful; feel so sorry for anyone affected by that, particularly at this time of year.

      Indeed, reports suggesting numbers could well reach double figures. Very sad for all involved.

  13. Just seen the Sainsbury's Christmas advert for the first time. How very poignant

      I've seen it for the first time too. And, JJG - it was produced with the Royal British Legion.

      Even so, even if it was produced with the support of the RBL, I'm still not convinced that it is in the best taste to use such an event for commercial benefit.

      Lets hope that Sainsbury's paid a lot of money to the RBL

  14. Back home from uni in Sheffield and it's colder in Swindon!
