Excellent report Glenn. Terriffic photos, especially of the water bomber and the chopper flight. RAT appears to have become quite a celebrity.

G'day Al' a belated welcome to TAA. I am sure you will find it a great place to visit.

I use the Canon EOS 350D EFS 18-55 mm lens EF 75-300mm lens 2 spare Power Mart DCN003Z batteries SanDisk Extreme III 1GB Lexar Media 1GB PQ1 2GB First Champion 8GB Sony DCR-SR42 HDD Handycam 2 FH70 Batteries(Unbranded but work very well) I have brought the spare batteries from e-batteries.com.au at a fraction of the price of the Canon/Sony ones. I have had no problems with the batteries and the service from e-batteries is very good. All the CF cards have been problem free also. The missus uses the video camera at shows and occasionally at the airport and is now very happy that we have the battery capacity to use the camera most of the day. Mostly use the DSLR on auto as I don't want to miss "that" shot. I did have some problems with the 75-300mm lens but at the 2nd attempt Canon found the fault and repaired it under warranty via Harvey Norman Mildura. Very frustrating though to be without the camera for 2 two week spells especially as the last time was when the comet was visible 2 years ago. By the time the camera was fixex the comet was just a dot!

Just got home from work and some more welcome messages. Thanks everybody for the greetings.

Welcome Evan

Welcome to TAA Mike. I found it by accident too. Best accident I have ever had!

Welcome Daniel,good luck with your new wings.

Thanks for the welcome. I get great enjoyment taking the photos and have met some terriffic aviation people and one or two not so good! Now I am able to share my photos with you, some of which I see are familiar to you. Martyn

just like to say g'day to everyone out there. Came across this excellent website a few days ago. I have been interested in aircraft ever since I can remember. I don't fly(maybe one day),but I am into photography and flight simming. Martyn
