I always admired the design of the "Draken". I believe I had a toy Draken when younger and great story by the way.Quote:

Some more pictures from this years vacation:

There is something about Susan Boyle that really endears me to her. I really love her voice. I have her album and it's beautiful. I highly recommend it.Quote:

I'll try to make them work tomorrow.
Haha, neither do I to be honest. I just remember that line from the movie Hot Fuzz.
Nice pics Claev, I like the close ups. The details revealed are fantastic.
Back to the aircraft, perhaps? My last batch was exclusively about SAAB aircraft, but there is more, of course:

Early aero engine.

FFVS J22. A Swedish product that came into being due to the problems involved with importing anything during WWII.
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...w/IMG_4832.jpg
Hawker Hunter. An early jet, and a really beautiful aircraft.
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...w/IMG_4838.jpg
Spitfire PR Mk XIX. Popular among the pilots, as it was able to give the early jets a run for their money.
Interesting fact: The prop is in fact wooden! The reason was that the contraption was rather front heavy and tended to chew tarmac if brakes
were applied too heavily. The wooden prop bashed its tips off instead of ruining the engine when that happened.
/Claes
Your pictures are amazing Claes, as usual but the first series those close-ups with raspberry and unknown flowers just are marvelous!
Excellent pictures Claes. Those old planes were beautiful.
Wonderful additions, everyone! :banana:
Awwwww she's such a cutie! :)Quote:

Wonderful photos and library Brian. You’ve entered the digital world, well, at least with your photography.
I see you still have quite a collection of VHS and cassette tapes. hehe
Milly’s beard gives the appearance of a smile, but I doubt she is happy given the dreary weather.
I have several very old books from my grandfather' that appear much like your old brown book underneath Beethoven. (I may be showing my ignorance; it appears to be Beethoven).
Can you tell me/us about the book?
I was also curious about the book to the left of the “Napoleon” book?
Gilliatt
Thanks Gilliatt, I imagine that you had the same experience of wanting to frame things at hand in the viewfinder when you first went digital. Yes, it is Beethoven and the old book you mention was printed in 1732 and is a translation from the French of the History of Charles XII by Voltaire. Unfortunately, it's not in good condition; having suffered burn marks to the cover and is also a second edition. It actually belongs to my brother, who found it behind a filing cabinet when he was in the military years ago. The book next to that on Napoleon is 'The Collected Stories of Maupassant' in English translation.
I took a trip up to Thetford in Norfolk, where I am thinking of moving, although it's all in the balance at the moment, and took some shots of the town while I was there.
Here are few picture of recent floods in Pakistan and the devastations they have caused.

While away on business in Rockford Illinois, I had spotted a brochure several weeks ago promoting WW II days at Midway Village museum. Being one that is interested in WW II history, I pocketed the flyer and marked the date; September 25 and 26th.
http://www.examiner.com/day-trips-in...kford-illinois
Arriving on Sunday, I was overwhelmed at the magnitude and attention to authenticity of the rein actors and their WW II memorabilia including everything from uniforms, small arms weapons, campsites in the woods, field artillery to an operational Sherman tank! The day concludes with the main event, a mock battle that takes place in a field with scattered trees and underbrush.
Attendance was somewhere in the neighborhood of 7,000
Enough. Here are a few photos:
We begin with the war correspondent and I can’t think of anyone more celebrated than Ernie Pyle:

“I was away from the front lines for a while this spring, living with other troops, and considerable fighting took place while I was gone. When I got ready to return to my old friends at the front I wondered if I would sense any change in them.” – Ernie Pyle

“But to the fighting soldier that phase of the war is behind. It was left behind after his first battle. His blood is up. He is fighting for his life, and killing now for him is as much a profession as writing is for me.” – Ernie Pyle
