Cracking photos Rob! I'd love to see your pics from November when 108 (and 106) retired! I need to get a better lens (and learn how to use my camera!) to get some better shots!!

Hi Rob.

'Togging' is simply a shorthand for photographing, a 'tog' being a photographer.

From my experience Photobucket compresses images horribly, rendering even the sharpest image soft. Of the free image hosting services I've found Flickr to be the best - even though I'm not sure about the new layout.

That's very useful to know Mike, I have always used photoucket.

Having always enjoyed the quality of so many pictures posted by other I just put it down to using my phone camera. I think Flickr will be investigated when time allows.

The engines have had to come out as part of the contract... they will go back.

Just been taking the IFR nozzle off 808. Cannot understand that as they want to keep her running. Plenty of nozzles elsewhere.
