I have no issue with it at all, it's the only language this idiot knows. He's a nasty piece of work with no respect for anyone and it really doesn't bother me that she reacted and replied this way.

How are you finding this lens then @macs ? I blind purchased a used Canon 18-200, but it's heavier than I was expecting. I've heard the Tamron is quite light which would be better for me as my 11 year old niece would be using it too.

I'm tempted to make a weekend of this, with MCM Comiccon being the same weekend I could do a day at each show.

For me this is why I take photos. It's great being able to look back at past events or pictures of the family when we were all much younger. Even more so the ones with my Nan who passed away recently.

Is the B17 Sally-B? Someone told me the other day that she's been repainted silver, but I can't see that being done to her. Hopefully the weather will clear for Clacton on Thursday as she meant to be flying there.

Why? Edit: sorry, just seen they're banned for the summer. It's always horrible to hear of children being bitten by dogs, but as is often the case I expect there's more to the story. I'm a dog owner myself and I admit I don't always have my dog on a lead, especially somewhere like the beach. I...

We all have different priorities so go with what you feel suits you best. Personally I'd rather have more lenses that are suited to different things so that I'm using the best glass I can afford for each situation. I'm happy to carry extra lenses with me and swap when I need to. I have a...

I don't think you did anything wrong, but the other guy is a t***. I definitely would try and find where they hunt though, you should be able to get some nice action shots if you can set up in the right place.

RIAT is possibly my favourite air show to go to, as already said the sun is usually behind you for most of the day. I'm not going this year as I can't get the time off work, but I'm hoping to be back next year. I usually do just the Saturday and drive down, but I might look at staying for the...

I got stung with this when I sold a camera on there, it left me in excellent condition and the buyer reported it for being not as described claiming it was faulty. It wasn't but without even contacting me ebay sided with them and took the money from my PayPal account. I contested the case...

If you booked in advance online kids were free, but for some reason they closed advance bookings this week. Not sure why they do that though. I don't think the price is too bad considering you get full access to all the hangers and museums too, but it's not the most exciting place for kids though.

@Brian G I'm not sure if it helps much, but the Lanc's are scheduled to do their fly past in Bourn at 2:45pm from what I've heard. Unfortunately I don't know where that fits in with Little Gransden and the rest that day. I've heard that tracking Vera on FR24 and the like will be intermittent due...

I think the Canadian Lanc can be tracked on those sort of apps as it's privately owned, but the BBMF Lanc can't as its own by the military.

Just an FYI for anyone interested, the schedule has been updated to include some additional fly pasts throughout the tour and also a second 'three Lancs' date at East Kirby on 7th September. http://www.warplane.com/lancaster-2014-uk-tour.aspx

I thought they'd go quicker, but then again the date is a problem for a lot of people. They have said they're going to try to get more tickets available, but its dependant on whether they can arrange parking for the extra vehicles.
