Nice!

Good morning lads. I admit I have been a bit of a slacker. I still do not have my Oshkosh 2024 file completed so while I take care of that I will be posting nothing but warbirds from years gone past. I will do my best to include the civilian registration, date and location. Hope you do not mind.

I believe it was July of 2003 when Michael Potter nosed over his Spitty at Geneseo New York. Seems so long ago but just like yesterday as well. The days go by slowly but the years go by so fast.

Cheers

Jeff

Your photos are always worth waiting for

This Mk. V Anson was parked outside by the CWH and was allowed to rot. It is no longer with us. Shame on the CWH for allowing this to happen.

I spy the Berlin Airlift Historical Foundation C-54 in the background. I interviewed the Candy Bomber Gail Halvorsen himself in the back of that at Duxford in 1998.

Geepers that's criminal. It would have had a wooden wing as well. Ansons with their original wooden wings are not exactly common.

I remember when she was a flier!

From Oshkosh 2005. This was the last year I shot film. I did not know it at the time. It is weird when I think back to having to limit oneself to one or two shots of any particular airframe in order to have"ammo" for what came next. Photography died with digital, now we just capture images to be manipulated in a computer.

A lot of the Canadian Ansons were Mk V's with a wooden fuselage as well - no steel tube frame and no aluminium nose. As it was one of those that is even more criminal.

Yep, and few of them survive in their original state. I got to look at the Camden Aviation Museum's Anson I recently and it has its original wooden wing, surprising following the Aussie ruling that wooden winged Ansons were to be grounded.

Actually, it didn't. I believe the opposite. Computer manipulation has enabled even finer and more accurate capture of images and image creativity available to the individual. The reality is that the creation of images has not changed at all, just the medium by which we do so. Ever since its inception, film photography has been manipulated, colours altered, details enhanced and everything else we do on a computer now was being done in a dark room. Nothing has changed, it's just that we as individuals have greater control over our own output than we ever had before, because not all of us had dark rooms or the chemicals and equipment required to make the kinds of changes we can now. Photography is alive and well, I am happy to report. The digital age is advancing the art in exactly the same creative ways that had been done before, but using different equipment.
