Epson is best... ask Nico Braas, he use it and make some of the great scans with it. Never never never buy Mustek!!!

I have both Epson A4 and a Mustek A3 which now never gets used!!!

A couple of shots of Harriers GR.1's on deployment during the 'Cold War' period, 'somewhere' in the woods of West Germany
Both from my collection of over 200 slides, slowly scanning them in.

Sorry No.1 can translate the heading for his post.
Am I right to say that it is a list of US air units in 1941.

Thanks

Combat Warplanes / Re: RAF Reconnaissance before Operation Neptune

« on: December 23, 2007, 08:52:08 PM »

Hi Wingman81,

With RAF photo recce, they would take the images with an overlap of 60% on each frame.
So each frame would have 60% of the frame before it and so on through the whole sortie. Then if you place two following frames together and then looked through a stereo viewer (see attached image) you would get a stereo (pseudo 3D) result.
From these stereo images, you can work out measurements and heights of objects, them they would produce scale models of the target areas. These would be used for planning of the attack or the raid.
I have see these models and they are of excellent detail.

I hope this answers your question, if it's not too clear I will try and find some diagrams and examples.

I have a picture of one of these models I will see if I can find it.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year

Great link,
There's even a short clip of the reconnaissance version.
However, it's stated that there was a hole in the floor of the aircraft so the pilot could see what he was photographing.
I have been told on very good authority that this is incorrect.

No problem my friend, I will be nice to know where the aircraft will go. Hopefully not to a scrap yard.

I see there are 2 Hunters
Canberra nose
Vulcan nose.
Meteor
Sea Vixen
Jet Prost
And I think a DH Vampire
Wessex SAR

There only the ones I can put names too.

Thanks for the links on the Me 262, but one question - how do you make links to YouTube work? I clicked on each one but just got a blank page in every case. Perhaps my computer does not have enough memory.

Thanks,

PV Chairman.

I get the same if I'm at work, our network has blockers on Youtube, ebay and other sites like this.
