First time posters,
I think the shots are great but find the 'assault' on PPRuNe a little bit distasteful. If you are trying to settle old scores or something please find somewhere else to do it.
Aviation History & Nostalgia tends towards the more laid back side of things, A kind of lazy day at Old Warden type atmosphere.
Please don't spoil it.

DanielB and others,
I fear I may owe you an apology for kicking off this little debarkle.
If so, then I apologise unreservedly. I do genuinely think your photos are first class, and their style etc is very reminicent of the other siad person.
There most certainly never any intent to criticise in any way, and if I have caused offence then I'm sorry.
Please keep posting the photos, they really are very good
Kind regards
The Swinging Monkey
ps Pops, thanks for bringing everyone back down to earth!

The 'assault' on PPRuNe was outrageously obvious and I have dealt with it.
But as DeepC rightly says the AH&N forum is an example of nice people getting together and enjoying the old and new days. I intend to keep it that way.
DeepC, see you on Sunday?

Sorry about all the fuss this has sparked off - just wanted to share my photos after speaking with a friend about this forum at the weekend.
My username is my name, I didnt't register to wind anybody up, I'm registered at several other forums under this username.
Anyhow, thanks to all for the praise re the photos. The guy who requested more Vulcan shots shall have them tonight, I'm just back from LHR and once I've sorted through those pics, I'll post your extra Vulcan pics here. I've got some of last year's taxi run if you're interested aswell.
Once again, I apologise for the way this thread has gone, and hope I can continue to share my photos here.

You've got nothing to apologise for. Just rise above the petty sniping and keep on posting your pics for our enjoyment.
Good pictures, and thanks for posting them.
Speaking for myself, I think your "copyright in small lettering" is just right. A little modesty makes a refeshing change.

The photos are good StrikeEagle, but why perpetuate the myth of the Olympus when you mentioned on UKAR that you'd borrowed a 10D - I'd hazard that many of these were from Steve's 10D.
Not that it matters a great deal, but you were the one who made the comment about the 3 grand's worth of kit.
Why try to mislead, unless it served another purpose? You could have made a greater impact without this silliness.

Yep, you're absolutely spot on. I did borrow Steve's 10D on the Sunday, and lovely it is too.
I made the point about the Olymus, because these were taken on my Olympus. Nothing here is from the 10D - I haven't even seen the pics from the 10D myself yet. The only person who has is, funnily enough, Steve.

STOP!!!!! Back off.
If you want to slag each other off do it via e-mail or PM - NOT on these pages. Hope that is quite clear. NOT on these pages. We have had enough bickering and I will not tolerate another bout of it.

Some photographers have been posting for longer than others, but new members are very welcome - the more the better.

Welcome to Pprune. We look forward to seeing more of your excellent photographs.
BTW, don't feel you have to justify yourself or respond to every silly comment made. Most people just want to enjoy interesting aviation photographs and have no interest in whatever 'politics' lie behind some of the comments posted.

Why don't you post some helo pictures in the Rotorheads forum. Check out the Competition that's on at the moment. Your Jetranger pics won't go with the sort of pics you get in Rotorheads, but your military pics and some of your police helo pics would. The Rotorheads Round the World thread is the biggest and best collection of helo pics on the web with pics by pro and amateur photogrtaphers and there's no politics, no fuss about usernames, nobody's heard of DamienB and no big ego battles.
Anyways, even if some folk think you and DamienB are the same person it don't matter a t*ss unless it bothers you. Lot of stupid fuss about nothing.
Anyone else noticed how the only time you get sniping and bitching in this friendly forum is when there's photographers involved?

Roll out the Vulcan shots, but may I suggest a new thread so as not to detract from this one.

No jealousy here (save that I couldnt make it to what was an excellent show by all accounts).

The VUlcan did not taxi but should be up for it on the August bank holiday. Apparently the Hunter is a write off after a bad landing and was assessed yesterday to this effect.

That's right - XL426 will be making two fast taxi runs along Southend's runway in August, once the brakes have been serviced.
With regard to Miss D, I'm not sure the damage is so bad that it would be written off. There were some photos posted at UKAR showing the aftermath - the tail pipe has some damage, and the skid has been pushed up through into the jetpipe, but it doesn't look as if it can't be repaired.

The last time he scraped his pipe (ooo err missus) he bolted a new one on (SOP I understand). Not sure if he has another spare.
Hope shes up again soon.

Apparently, accordingly to a reliable source the damage is not as bad as first feared and there is an outside chance Miss D will be flying again in time for Kemble Air Day.

Sorry to bring up the similarity of peoples names sounding the same, but I have not seen DamienB on pprune for ages, does anyone know what happened to him??
