Might have missed it, but didn't catch Tom Pryce? I was lucky enough to interview Sir Jackie Stewart (taped not in person sadly) who categorically stated that Tom would have been world champion had he survived that awful crash in Kyalami. Great footage and a real pleasure to watch.

Many thanks for your comments. My wife and I visited Vancouver in 1996 for a two week holiday and to meet up with relatives who live on both Vancouver Island and Thetis Island. During the trip we met up with Bob Harris and his wife and went out for dinner with them - a really charming couple. We also fell in love with Vancouver!

I think the only driver you didn't caught on film is Derek Bell with the Surtees. Apart from him you seem to have everyone. Even those who just appeared in this race during practice only and who can not be seen in any of the professional reviews. What a treasure! Thank you for sharing!

@TheBlackHelicopterRevue8 күн бұрын
It's not 1976. I was at the 1976 Farnborough when I was 14 (and an Air Cadet). There was no Lockheed C5 Galaxy or SR71 - these appeared in earlier Farnborough shows, possibly 1972 or 1974. Highlights of 1976 Farnborough were the Grumman F14 Tomcat, McDonnell F15 Eagle (in American Bicentennial colours), Northrop YF17, McDonnell Douglas YC-15 and the Hawker Siddeley Hawk trainer.

I was there aged 16. I have a photo of Jacky Ickx and Mario Andretti in the Capri as they drove around for a victory lap. I had jumped the fence to take the picture. Never be allowed to do that now. I got a great shot with only a Mamiya rangefinder and 42mm lens so you can imagine how close I was to the car as it drove by. 😂

When I did my A& B cert in 1950 at Castle Bromwich airfield in the ATC, i recall the Sedburg, (which I wondered if this was the T21) but the one i flew in had no individual windshields it was goggles all the way on a barrege baloon winch to 850ft.it had airbrakes on the wing upper surface as I recall

Many thanks for your kind comments. I would just like to clarify, this is not a "restoration", it is very much a "new build/replica" making use of just a very few original spare parts and original drawings. Glad you enjoyed the video. I am looking forward to seeing Beachy Head enter service on the 23rd August.

Many thanks Roy. Yes, we have a number of great preserved railways here in the UK which, I am pleased to say, bring a great deal of pleasure to the visitors, many of whom come from all over the world. My wife and i are both volunteers at the Bluebell Railway and really enjoy meeting many of the visitors. Keep up the great work on your videos, I really enjoy them and the memories they bring back.

Having gained my "wings" on the T21 Sedbergh, the comment that every one of us trainee pilots all made was, "there's no philharmonic orchestra, nor any b****y music soundtrack. Just the noise of the wind". So, DELETE the b****y musak!!! The genuine sounds of an operational airfield are far more emotive; especially on a glider airfield. Otherwise, a sincere "thank you" for a wonderful video.

Now you have both 180 to 600 and hundred to 400. What would you prefer someone who is starting out on nature and wildlife photograph
@SwanSycorax5 ай бұрын
my 100-400 when I bought the 180-600. I loved the 100-400 and wish I could have justified keeping both. Before I sold one and bought the other i had two opportunities to try both lenses back to back and was surprised to find the 180-600 was just as sharp as the 100-400 and when I added the 1.4xTC to the 100-400 the image was not as sharp as the 180-600. As the prime requirement for either of these lenses was wildlife it was a no-brainer as reach is, in my opinion, everything.

I am glad it was helpful. I still stand by what I put in that video, however, times move on and a few weeks ago I traded my Z 100-400 for the Z 180-600. This was a hard decision as the 100-400 has been my go to lens for many occasions including two safari holidays in Africa. But, here in the UK most of my wildlife photography is birds and the 100-400 doesn't have the reach that I found was needed on many occasions. I carried out back to back comparisons between the 100-400 with the 1.4xTC and the 180-600 and found the latter was actually sharper and allowed in more light than the other set-up - despite the 180-600 not being an S-Line lens. I already have the Z 800- PF but as that is a prime I could only use it when extreme range is needed so, as i really couldn't afford, justify or carry about two long-range zooms, with heavy heart I moved the 100-400 on and am very happy with the 180-600 - which also allows reasonably close range pseudo-macro photography - although not as good as the 100-400.
