    What's Al Murray doing in that seat?:D

    I thought it was Sean Gallagher first :D, flying high for the Presidency?

    Lads last warning on this subject, More posts have been moved to the no discussion thread out of the discussion thread.

    Anymore photo's posted in the no discussion thread will receive a day ban for each photo posted in here.

    How this thread works is you may quote photo's from the no dicussion thread and post them as a quote then this will generate discussion.

    This works well in the Airsoft forum and should work just as well here.

    To keep the Photo thread looking clean I think that like in other forums on boards a Discussion thread would suit.

    So if you want to comment on a photo qoute it here.

    EDIT: Sorry guys - I shopped an airstrip (potential airport) at Sandymount. That's what we're meant to be looking at.

    How many stops if any does the new Boeing aircraft make and where on its journey from Boeing Field to DUB? Who operates the aircraft on its delivery flight , Boeing or Ryanair crews? Thanks...

    You'd have more luck extending the runway at Weston! The potential noise alone would have the residents up in arms and would considerably restrict the movements of aircraft even if it did manage to get built.

    I did get a good laugh out of it though :)

    I was thinking more along the lines of small, single engine, fixed wing aircraft (like Weston). Could generate a lot of tourism (great sights).

    Just drew it up for the laugh really.

    Small runway located just to the East (right) of Lansdowne Road. Angled south-east/north-west.

    And just like Weston, the residents would be up in arms. It wouldn't matter how small the aircraft were, unless the engines were electric, ie. silent, you wouldn't have a chance.

    Why do a few of the regular photo posters not embed their photos in the photo thread? I've stopped bothering to click the links which are just text. Flickr has the facility to use thumbnails so at least we can get some idea before clicking through.

    I regularly post links to my photos on Flickr and the reason I don't embed the images is because they can be copied from here without my permission.

    I'm amazed at how much that can bother photographers :confused:

    Would it not be just better for you to use digital watermarking on your photo's ? There's a lad in the Emergency Services forum that takes photo's of garda cars ect (good ones must I say) and he add's his own watermark to his photo's.

    Anybody got any photo's of the A340 in DUB at the moment ? :)

    Previously you couldn't embed as you needed photobucket account and I couldn't be arsed joining another website. I'll have a try of the flickr.com thumbnails option next time I post. However I always add a description before my photo links. I never liked blind links.

    As with Blue Punto below, I often post 2-4 pics from a series of 10 (or 6-8 from 100 in the case of my visit to the Udvar-Hazy centre in Dulles) This allows someone who uses the link to be directed towards a range of photos that they can look at as they like. Embeding 10-15 would seriously clog up the thread.

    Not my photo, found it on airliners.net. Its an aerial shot of the Boneyard in the Arizona desert. Here is where the US stores all of its scrapped military aircraft.

    This image shots a very small section of it but in this shot you can see enough fighter and transports for a sizable airforce, most in partial disassembly however. (10+ C-5, 20+ T-37, 20+ F-5, 8 F-14, 15+ F-15, 15+ F-16, 3+ B-1)

    http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/Lockheed-C-5A-Galaxy/1991661/L/

    The replacement cost of the C-5's sitting there is in the region of $1.8 billion! Wow!!

    It is trivial to grab photos from sites like Flickr despite things like disabling right-click and the like. This has been covered many times in the photography forum. That argument simply doesn't hold weight.

    Please do the thumbnails and more of us will look forward to seeing your pics.

    Posting photos is fine but when like myself I visited Madrid a few weeks ago are you really asking me to post every pic from the set cause you dont want to click on a link.

    I post a few from each set with a link "more here" or "the rest here"

    And ill do the same for my trip to Amsterdam yesterday

    Not at all, but some sort of idea would be very helpful. The 'more here' is a good solution.

    Theres no problem taking pics at Madrid.... The spotters mound there can be a very busy spot at times with groups of spotters from all over Europe visiting...

    No need for it to be long on the -F version. The upper deck houses crew rest and galley facilities for the crew. Thus leaving the entire main deck emtpy for freight.

    I would hazard a guess at 3500 ft.
    Could a DC-3 make FL350? I didn't think they were even pressurised.
    I would assume the captain wrote it after initial climb to allow all the pax to get a chance to read the flight info.

    I have a few of these from Viscount flights. Lovely piece of aviation history. I assume it has an advert on the reverse?

    From the "share" option on a given Flickr image choose "Grab the HTML/BBCode", then select the BBcode option at the photo size you want. Cut and paste the text in the box into the message on this board and you should have it.

    Shed all 4 Tail rotor blades?!:eek:
    Knowing that they're most likely gone for crack analysis, I question how long it will be until something else rears it's ugly head. Worst case scenario is that the main rotor blades suffer a similar fate and faults are found in the the blade root.... now that would lead to completely disastrous consequences:(
