Great stuff Gary. Last time I was there, back in 1995, I seem to remember the lighting was rather dim. Are the Soviet-made AFVs still parked outside? I couldn't get pics of them at the time, as it was persisting down !
 
Still nice pictures. The ones I tried taking inside the musuem in Korea is much worse. My flash died and most of the lights were off becuase it was close to closing time.

Excellent shots Gary. I like your commentary to.:lol: Museum lighting can be a real b!tc, but you fared really well sir. And as for the holding your breath, DON'T! Just relax and breath steady and watch for the spot that is the most stable. Mine is at the end of a exhale. If you hold your breath you get shaky and pass out like you said.:lol: It's just like target shooting a rifle.
 
Here are a few from me.
As Gary said, we had to find our own camera steadys!!

The green lump is from Hangar 5 and shows bullet damage from the Luftwaffe raid in August 1940. A bomb exploded in the hangar and blew the door off crushing several airman who were trying to close it.

Middle Wallop was one of the most unchanged Battle of Britain airfields (and is still grass). There are many original buildings with camo traces on the walls.

I love those grips Aaron! I first saw it about 20 years ago in a store room and suggested they put it on display!! It is the best (probably never fitted) condition KG12 I have ever seen....I prefer mine as it has 5 kill marks.

I have been wondering how we (as a forum) could establish an online museum of our stuff...!!
