A couple of photos from Shobdon.
One of our visitors passing through:
And a couple which landed behind my favourite C152:
One of our regular visitors
Oops! Just realised you can see only one of the two helicopters; the other was a short distance behind it.
(and also that I can't count. That's three photos)

Not exactly private flying...
...but interesting (well, I thought so). This is a model of the only nonoplane (plane with nine wings) ever built, the 1921 Caproni Ca.60, at the Musee de l'Hydraviation (Seaplane Museum, roughly translated), in Biscarosse, south-west of Bordeaux. It did fly, twice - once successfully, the second time someone forget to secure the ballast representing a full load of passengers - on rotation it all slipped backwards, and that was the end of that (and the pilots, too).

Uffinham White House and nice field for PFLs
Are those people waving or shaking their fists? (Taken on Sunday during self-tour of neolithic sites in the area - Andrew Marr eat your heart out!)

OK chaps - nice pics but let's size them properly before posting.
I am sure PPRUNE has access to a lot of bandwidth but I don't need to scroll 2 metres right to see all the pic.
Resize before posting to about 1000 pixels wide - it will still look good.

Advice for posting photos is at the beginning of this thread.

David Good !
I am using MSIE 7
But that is not the issue.
Why does my pic sit nicely in the screen and yours doesn't?
I have a wide screen - running at 1152 by 864 pixels.
If I change the resolution - which seems to defeat the fact that like a lot of other people we have upgraded to LCD and better screens - will this make the difference.
Maybe the instructions should change.
How does my pic appear to you?

I followed the adive on the site religiously and resized the images to 800 x 600. The picture of the Robin is half screen width on my machine whilst Davidhoul's and mine are screen width.
Something amiss somewhere!

I have two monitors - an LCD 1280 x 1024 - the pictures fit fine on this one - the other is CRT 1024 x 768 and I don't see the whole of some pictures.
