    57 Squadron Marham

    Sorry, can't say I remember him. I was an Air Traffic Controller and they didn't let us out of our dark rooms much!! Alan

    57 Squadron Marham

    What New Gear Have You Purchased This Week?

    Canon 24-105 f/4 L USM. Haven't had much chance to use it yet but it seems a great piece of kit to me. Alan

    Feel free to use these if you like, I have some others but didn't include them for various reasons (bushes, composition and the most tatty looking carriages you've ever seen!) Alan

    Steam train at Bury (Duchess of Sutherland)

    I was staying at the Bury Caravan Club site and they were running this up and down all day, lot's of spotters on the inside of the embankment fence being supervised by railway staff. I presume they were paying for the privilige, I'm not really into trains but I thought it would be rude not to...

    Review Meike Battery Grip for Canon 550D/600D/650D With 2 Extra Batteries for £26.22!!!

    I've had mine for about 18 months now and it's been faultless. The batteries that came with it are still going so very good value for money. Alan
