Well went to the RAAF base Edinburgh airshow today, some great aircraft on display however the weather sucked big time. The wind was blowing harder than a two dollar hooker which meant some of the flying routines were canned (meteor and canberra to name a few ), the sky was mostly overcast and it was freezing. On top of that my camera was playing up and gave me the shits. But apart from that the wife and I had a great time, here are some pics.
- C17, the RAAF's latest toy
- A nice CAC Winjeel
- P3 Orions, RAAF Edinburgh is the home of the Orion Maritime Patrol Wing, so there were plenty of them laying around.
- Hudson bomber. The sole airworthy one in the world and a genuine combat vet from the PTO.
- Meteor. Painted in the markings of George Hale who downed a couple of Migs over Korea with 77sqn RAAF.
- Canberra Bomber.
- RAN squirrel. Note the Barney Gumball (sp?) painting under the engine.
- Airworthy "black cat" Looks like they're about to install the blisters back on.
- The RAAF Museum's CAC Mustang. Unfortunately these are the only pics I got of it because my camera was playing up when it was doing it display.

Yeah, great photos again Wildcat! Looks like you didn't have to stop at the Temora Aviation Museum after all, half their jet collection is there! Knowing nothing of photography, tell me, why do the two airborne shots of the Orion's props appear to be standing still? There would be no 'strobe' effect with a digital camera, would there?

The prop effect turned out like that because I had it set on the incorrect shutter speed, I think. I'm no expert myself, I simply point and shoot! Eric is the man to ask. I was a bit disappointed with the prop blur because the orion was flying on three engines and I was hoping that that would show in my photos.
