    UK Flight Over Railway Line

    Mmm interesting discussion We ran into concerns from the Port of London Authority a while ago. They expressed discomfort about the distraction danger drones pose to the pilots of river craft. We wanted to conduct a photographic survey of a building abutting the Thames. Seasons greetings...

    Honest opinions/thoughts and a question...

    complicated... I think you are after bulb ramping... not sure that it can be done with the x5 though How To Use Bramping Mode he link is for only one of many ways... very effective, and a bit of time needs investing... also look at the Promote Bramping device....

    x5 as a camera

    I'm with APSussex on this, I shoot reproduction fine art a lot of the time with a digital hasselblad... that takes one a real pixel peeper. I am regularly disappointed when I look at aerial photos up close because they lose that sharp detail that I expect. In reality though, when up in the...

    UK Euro-USC Charges.

    Oscen, thank you for the link. I think that having begun with Euro.... I should probably finish with them too... It just seems odd that all the practical testing sites are all miles from the south. Best H

    UK Euro-USC Charges.

    Wait a mo.... I have my ops manual passed, and my ground school... The bit I was getting cross about is that all the available test sites are half way across the country.... Does this mean that I can arrange to take the practical test with a local BMFA club that is within ten miles of me...

    Thank you for the suggestions chaps... I think the idea of a long phone call might work... Will give it a try and report back... I'm also going to investigate simplex comms... Hugh
