I'll withdraw the challenge until I can sort out these photo's.
So OPEN HOUSE!

I can see the images.

I can see them - but they are very blurred.

Odd - can't see anything in either MS Edge (shudder), Firefox or Chrome

I'm getting 3 'contact prints' with Chrome.

Same for me on MS Edge

Sorry peeps. I scanned these and uploaded them to Pprune Pictures and albums but can't get them any bigger. the prints are 6x4".
I'm sure there is a way to get them bigger but I can't find it.

OPEN HOUSE it will have to be.

I can't see them at home - IE & Firefox
But can see them at Work - IE & Firefox


:ugh: :confused:


Try a larger dpi when scanning them

where does the "contact prints" notification appear Chevvron?

Ahh if I QUOTE dixi's message I get this -

try try again..

Sorry forgot some of you youngsters might not be familiar with the term although Kenparry was.
Remember when cameras were loaded with film which had to be developed?
A 'contact' print was a print which was the same size as the negative rather than being enlarged which meant with 110 film which was 16mm wide, it was too bl00dy small to see any detail and even with 35mm film it wasn't too good.

We used contact prints to check the navigation accuracy of photo-survey runs in the mid-70s. Mind you, the film was 10 inches wide!

My first camera was a Brownie Box No. 2 (1901-1935). Quite sophisticated for its time. Three apertures, selected by a slide and one shutter-speed, plus a “Bulb” setting. It used 120 film, which Kodak introduced for this camera.

The contact prints were 3 ¼” x 2 ¼”, which was quite an acceptable size. I still have an album of my first attempts and my brother, who is a collector, still has the camera.

eckhard,

During my career, I had occasion to use vertical aerial photos and they were always contact prints.

Still can't improve the pics. (Need sons help!)

If anyone wants to try, the first pic has a line of F4 phantoms, the second one has 2 lines of UH1s and the third pic is of a B727 approaching the terminal.
They were all taken on the same day in February 1990, and it was about 5 degrees F.

try

User Cp on top yellow menu line above - Pictures and Albums - create Album - Upload picture - gives you chance to upload 3 jpegs at a time - once uploaded you can copy either the BB or the other link

Go to thread you want to post on - Reply - picture symbol and paste in the link

Only problem is that it seems to only allow 25 to 30 pictures per Album so you have to delete the oldies every so often

No time to sort pics. so

OPEN HOUSE!

Something for the weekend

a new pair of glasses?

I'd guess its tropical ..................

Too many trees for Malta, possibly Pacific Theatre? Tinian?

Tropical - Yes
Malta - No
Pacific - Not WWII, correct area, but not strictly Pacific though.


Source images are fairly small for this one, so not brilliant quality.

Hope these views are of help.

No longer resembles an airfield. The runway and surrounding base just looks like a huge scar on the ground in GE

runway was approx NE/SW

rather odd - significant displaced threshold at BOTH ends for no apparent reason

Farnborough has displaced thresholds at both ends (in the order of 500 - 600m) purely to restrict the LDA to 1800m as a 'sop' to the local planning authority but that's not Farnborough, I think it's somewhere in Germany associated with a university but can't remember the name.

HH - have you posted a picture as I can't seen one

https://www.pprune.org/members/32618...ure990-009.jpg

Using the alternative link from the album - can you see it?

This isn't a german University nor is it Farnbro' either .....

At one time it was a lot busier than it is now..................

Visible using Chrome.

Not visible on Firefox either. :(

are you using a desktop /tablet/phone?

Seems to be an increasing problem here - if we can nail when it happens we can try and chase the mods.......

Cannot see it... iPhone
