What I do is 'copy' the photos IMG code (not the HTML code) and then 'paste' it in and it sorts itself out. But for multiple photos I have to go backwards and forwards for each photo.

Approving the new one-way strip in the old coconut plantation on Christopher Skase's leased island where he was building a resort.. Barracuda Point where the reef juts out on the top right of the photo (N.E. side) was a top dive spot, while I got lots of crays on a moonless night dive on the western side (left of photo where the resort went).



The workers



First Takeoff



Liftoff



Second landing - back on again. Alright with a crosswind or headwind, but heavy in an Islander with no reverse thrust like a Twotter, was trickier with a roaring tailwind..



It'll do - (until the resort was burnt down under Mike Gore's tenure)
Chief pilot and Brian Smith (later lost his life in the Mount Gambier Kingair crash)
Note planted grass to stabilize the sand.



Taking the goat track over the ridge from the resort to the strip later, (the guests went round by boat), Barracuda Point directly ahead over the umbrella at the white water.
