i just feel that the modern jets dont have such a special elegance about them. i also feel something inside me when i see an old aeroplane thats been lovingly restored and looked after.

I agree, camo isnt interesting anymore either, theyre either black or grey for the most part.

or bare metal. i dont think you can get any more pretty than the german lozzenge. you wont see that now on a front line machine.

German and Italian camo was superb.

if we go back to ww1 then there was no camoflauge realy.

Apologies for using this thread for a one off, however this may be of interest. There are a number of people on this site who take very good photographs of aircraft.
Anyway I stumbled across the following site and I urge you to check it out. They are all copywrited so I cannot post any but it puts mine at least into the shade.

Enjoy

i am registerd on that site but they turned down a load of my photos for mis identifacation or bad photos. i uploaded a load of the irish air core t9 thats at duxford complete with registration etc and they turned it down on misidentifacation.

They are a bit too militaristic in their posting qualifications, and they are very erratic about it too. They don't like cropped photos either. I use the sister site, http://myaviation.net There you can post freely and not have to deal with inconsistent screeners.

I have almost 300 pictures up on the myaviation.net site. I am awaiting them to post some I uploaded last night. My portfolio is here:

i will try that site. i have got many pictures that are not that easy to find. cockpit interiors, insides of fuesalages etc.

 

[ollieholmes]

does anyone know of any other online gallerys for warbird photos? i am thinking of making my own website to host them all on instead.

 

[evangilder]

There are a ton of them out there.

 

[ollieholmes]
