Hi All

Took advantage of the Azure blue xmas skies today for soem arty shots of the Ridgerunner

Very nice.

haha, great job rocketman, maybe you should get one of the rockets... a friend had one, you put a proper rocket fuel cartridge in it and lit the fuse, i would shot up into the air and once the fuel ran out and it started falling down, a parachute pops out!

ah well, great shot anyways matey,

cheers,

matt

Hey wait a minute here----------you either have a super high speed camera ----or that pilot was in big trouble with a dead engine----
------                             Nice pictures,I like them and also like to see this area getting active.

yeah you got me , ridgerunner has a sticky prop that was spinning but by the time im all ready is slow enough to appear stopped. My two d-day P-47's are a lot more obliging so shouldnt have that problem at kenley this weekend!  Thats the good thing about Jets!

OK but if you use jets I want to see some exhaust gases coming out the tail-----LOL 

      Great idea and pictures---

Nah just a bit of heat haze should do it. Thats what picture editor is for 

Keith, do you know they sell Airfix spinning prop motor kits in the Croydon Alders for £2.99? It includes a small motor (about the width of a AAA battery and half the length)  with a decent amount of wire, a metal wire prob to fix to the aircraft prop and what looks like a rubber tube to join it to the motor shaft. Simple and easy to hide, just needs a battery source and maybe a switch.

Allders still going? Blimey

Anyway motor and wire aint the problem, its getting the fuselage apart thats the bugger. The screws are covered over with a plastic cover that in removing would bugger the paint job!  ridgerunner is the only problem aircraft, the two P-47's props spin for ages , more than enough time for the camera to catch the movement.

Looks fantastic. What scale is she?
