Country: | Trackend, for just getting used to the camera, I would say you are doing very, very well! I had to grab a towel. I was drooling all over the keyboard.  Seriously, you got my wife's attention with the pictures as well, and she usually could care less about airplane pics.
NICE JOB!!!

Sally B's claim to fame as a movie star came when she was first featured in the LWT We'll Meet Again TV series during the winter of 1980-1981, and the advance from the movie provided for the full set of dummy turrets installed in her. The TV series, filmed at West Malling, created a whole new following for the bomber at stimulated Ted White's dream of an all-vintage air show, which was to become the Great Warbirds Air Display. In a tragic twist of fate, Ted White and his friend Mark Campbell died in a crash in Malta in June 1982, just before the air show was held. As tribute to Ted White, Sally B's starboard inner cowling was painted with the same black and yellow checker marking as the Harvard that brought about White's untimely death. It will always carry these colours in memory of White.
Any shots of the Hawk 75?

Country: | Nice stuff, trackend. The wife was asking what camera you are using. I think you mentioned it, but I don't remember...

Country: | Its a little Olympus C770 ultra zoom camedia its only 4 meg with X10 Zoom but I really hunted around and read lots of tests before buying it Evan, the lens was computated for CCD use only as opposed to most other digitals that have the lenses pinched from 35mm jobs. I got it for £186 on the net (dont ask what that is in $'s I aint got a clue what the exchange rate is  ) the only thing I would warn anyone about, is it has a slow auto focus and the Hand book is 230 pages long but if you use it on auto which is what I did for most of my shots it is easy to use and the metering is almost spot on.
The clip recorder is 30fps and it works very well. Almost video quality but if you want to use the zoom you need a small external mic as it will auto disable the zoom with out one, as you would hear the motor drive too much. Mrs Van G if you want something for your general snaps it may be worth a look at here's a pic so you have some idea what it looks like. By the by congrats on the happy event Mrs VG.
Oh one other thing you will need a spare battery as it can tend to eat them with the LCD screen on and working the Zoom too much.
Now I need your help Evan how can I make my video clips small enough for this web site most are around 10 MB's

Country: | Looks quite nice, trackend. Hmm, 10MB is not too bad, but I guess it depends on how long the clip is. How long are they? It also depends on the software you use to do any editting or importing. For output to the web, I typically setit up for Windows media format (WMV) with a variable bit rate. It's a good compromise between size and quality.
