Hi people,,

Attended this on Saturday 22nd Nov and have plenty of shots on my S3 - including a video of a ride in the very rare Piper CUB L4...Not the more common J3 version, also the Dragon Rapide. not sure how to downsize these to suit the website, so anyone interested in viewing vintage aircraft and the Cub video please advise on the process and I will post them up

Just post to Photobucket or Imageshack (my own preference) and video clip to Youtube.

Missed this one - wasn't the 50th when Jetman came to town 2 years ago??

Ok here is the link for Photobucket.. (Registered on Imageshack but have yet to receive and email response - not even in my Spam file either so who knows??)

Haven't been able to download the Video just yet - a learning curve here as it is over sized and is sideways. I used VLC Media to downsize and make upright, but Photobucket doesn't like the media type and refused to load it.

The aerocommander taxing past is very rare (Fastest twin passenger in the world according to one knowledgeable source).

I also have video of the Kiwi who does the international red bull circuit in his souped up racer...

New German fighter of the period , the new 'Mothakillya' , based along the same lines as the DH Mosquito, the other of Hitlers secret weapons never published .. those tall grain towers are in fact were over-sized bug repel aerosol cans !

Ok, after a lot of trial, tribulation, errors and time wasting I managed to get up a narrow (flipped) version of my Piper Cub flight on YOUTUBE...

Hope you enjoy it. Frankly the experience was mind numbing. CODEC errors, recommended Video programmes installing Spamware, you name it
Couldn't figure out how to give you a proper wide image except sideways - so you get what you get...

Yes, I confess, you had to be there - but low and slow is great for local site seeing.....

Yeah, I was asked by one to go for a flight but the 'BUT' got in the way

Thanks, could have used those instructions with that earlier, but obstinately tried to do it myself so the learning would stick. What I found... between frustration, irritation, anger (all the wrong emotions) is that I am incredulous we still have this complex requirement to get a simple video to screen. I knew putting up the image to Youtube was relatively easy, but the drama on trialing "recommended" solutions suggested off multiple forums, introduced a fist load of marginally useful programs loaded with spamware and other "useful" utilities I had no control over stopping.. the level of nastiness resident in some of these "useful" utilities is bounds ahead of the early days of spamware -

so beware of one particular utility called "Freemaker Video Converter" which does what it says, but also adds a multitude of other "helpful" programs that are nigh on impossible to remove..
