Autumn flying

Really getting cooler now.. soon time for the thermals again!! It's amazing the changes to the colours in the countryside.. It has to be my favourite time of the year.

Re: Autumn flying

Hi guys, its been a while since i have been on because i have been trying to gain my fixed wing PPL license, posted some footage on youtube, www.youtube.com/jgou2 but i wondering if any of you guys are thinking about flying in the next few weeks thats hoping the weather is good? If so would it be possible if i could tag along?? If you PM me your mobile numbers ill txt back and maybe we could sort something out?? I just want to come along and observe, ill not get in the way too much lol

Re: Autumn flying

Just noticed the way that Declan's image was attached to the posting- hadn't seen this done like this before. Seems like a good feature, in that it shows how many times the image has been viewed, etc....
Here is another test image.....

Re: Autumn flying

Gary- Many people have asked this before. There are infact 2 ways of doing it-- Shero's way is simpler, just attach the image to your posting and it will come up as you see above. In my earlier posts, i have done it using this technique-
