Smart Empire Test Pilots' School Pilatus PC-21 G-ETPA turns finals to QinetiQ's base at Boscombe Down
One of two acquired to replace both the Shorts Tucano and BAE Hawk's previously used by the School
The whole of their fleet has now been revamped, modernised and 'civilianised' too with all taking up UK civil registrations in the 'ETP' vein

This is the lower half of Horseshoe Bend on the Colorado River in Arizona (An earlier posting shows the full view). The site is located above the Grand Canyon and a short distance below the Glen Canyon Dam that forms Lake Powell. It is near the town of Page, AZ and the Antelope Canyons are just a short distance away.
Oh, and I have even better photos, but I picked this one since you cannot distinguish the individuals. It is an amazing place, but if you visit, stay safe. Having said that, I do like the sense of size that the people add to this photo. For a further sense of size, note the wake from the 3 boats on the far end of the river.

Lockheed Martin F-35A 13-5074 blasts away from Nellis Air Force Base. This aircraft is part of the 422nd Test & Evaluation Squadron based at Nellis.
Aircraft: Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II AF 13-5074/OT.
Location: Cheyenne Avenue, Nellis AFB, near Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
The handsome Usher Hall: like concert venues up and down the land and across the globe, it has been shut for almost a full year now. Walking past during the recent snows, I noticed it was open again - as a Covid testing centre. The nearby international conference centre is meanwhile being used as a vaccination centre.It makes sense, these places have been empty, they are designed to handle a large volume of people, have lots of space etc. Like everyone though I do wonder when we will get to use them again as actual venues....
What better subject for testing a roll of CatLabs80 than our Frank?!
This test roll was shot with the Minolta Autocord. Film exposed at 50 ASA and processed for 10.5 minutes in Xtol 1:1
Kentmere Pan 400. Xtol stock, Agfa Compact 935
The Agfa Compact (Optima 935) is a quite rare camera, and even more difficult to find in working conditions so I'm very happy of this finding.
It was the last camera built by Agfa in Germany in 1981
Telephoto camera: close-up -
Just testing the different lenses (cameras) on the tired old S10+ to decide if it needs replacement. "Not yet" - is my verdict, having seen samples form latest models. Little progress in flagship phones in 2 years :(
Testing how the film works in the new old camera. Will need to give an extra stop. However, this shot at the winery came out interesting.

Photographing a Test Train on HS1 in any kind of light is a hard thing to do. Eurotunnel have the contract to haul them with their Krupps Locomotives and they always go out at night after the last Eurostar and are back home before daylight. This one was booked back at D Moor at 0447 but I watched it on RTT during the night and it was running 30 minutes late which meant its seen here about 0510 in the morning with just enough light amongst the mist to record 0004 & 0003 on the 2312 D Moor to D Moor test train with it running up to Stratford International twice up HS1.Seen here dropping down the Freight Chord to D Moor at the end of its long night.
After checking the weather for days, on Thursday morning June, 29 I decided to head east as weather forecasts were showing it was the only direction with a chance of good weather.
Riding with me that day was my mother who was visiting for the week and my wife. It was out the door at 5 AM, and eastbound we headed. All week long the smoke from the Canadian wildfires had been chocking out any sun there had been. By Painsville, OH, we were in full sun. We eventually made it to Erie, PA.
With a heads up from a friend, I was informed that even though workers were striking at the Wabtec management would be out testing locomotives and off to the Erie East Commercial test track we headed.
Not long after arriving at the only grade crossing on the test track 4 units made a slow pass eastbound. Knowing it would not be long before they came back west and I set up for this shot.
Heading back west under a heavy load, at slow speed CSXT 7276 a newly rebuilt CW44AC, now a CM44AC leads GECX 2015 & 2014 both ET44AC's, and NS 7635 a ES40DC, back towards the plant.
The three of us hung around for 3 more passes while they kept testing the CSX and NS units as I changed photo angles.

Quando si dice "testa di cavolo" a qualcuno per offenderlo forse dovremmo pensarci bene; il cavolo ha un sacco di effetti benefici per la salute.

Per saperne ancora di più (qui la descrizione sarebbe lunghissima) vi consiglio il libro di Jean Valnet* "Cura delle malattie con ortaggi, frutta, cereali."
*Jean Valnet (1920 - 1995) padre della Fitoaromaterapia Moderna, medico e chirurgo militare, nel 1948 ha ridefinito in modo più specifico e scientifico i trattamenti naturali, determinado scientificamente il potere curativo degli oli essenziali. Fondatore della Società Francese di Fitoterapia e Aromaterapia, Valnet, con i suoi studi e la sua attività ha notevolmente contribuito a riscoprire le proprietà di moltissime piante.

Testing out a homemade macro lens. Used a technique that lindseynaima (http://www.flickr.com/photos/lindseynaima/) was gracious enough to share. These flowers are about an inch wide, if that. I put the elements on a 18-35mm lens for this shot.

This was my only test shot before the rain caught up with me.
I have 30 mins to do this and somehow I was rob of that time.
Maybe because frolicking in the fields with a white fabric is not weird enough. Try to imagine it trailing behind as the person runs for cover. Probably the kind where nightmares are made from.
Or maybe because it's a dire reminder that my camera is not waterproof and it had enough adventures these past 224++++ days.
I doubt.
Anyways, this taught me 2 things.
1. You really have no control of the weather whatsoever. (Trust me, I pathetically told the cloud to hold it for another extra 30 mins!!)
2. And always, always treat your test shots as real cause you never know.
You never know.
Ultimately, this was just a test shot with my new Canon 90D in order to configure with ISO settings and all that in low light to dark conditions based on how the camera would perform under such circumstances. Not too bad and a vast improvement compared to the Canon T3.
Metra F59PHi 91 leads the way of a Milwaukee West outbound train as it arrives Itasca, IL.
Testing a camera, went to the moors. I was worried about the light, but low and behold the sun came out at the right time, and it was magical.
Last Tuesday's 1Q47 plain line test train is seen at Salterbeck behind 37175.
This was most definitely not the shot I had intended.
I had yet to phot' this particular 37 and knowing it was on the front of this train tempted me out, despite the so-so forecast.
At one point it was running quite early and I arrived at the location in bright sunshine and set up a rather nifty "in the landscape" shot which I hadn't done before.
Unfortunately it then became apparent that the train would end up back in its original path and that's when the cloud started rolling in.
It was then necessary to move closer to the subject as the planned shot wouldn't work in the dull.
Sod's Law that the clouds parted just enough to light the subject as it hoved into view but there was no time to get back to the original spot so I was literally well and truly shafted.
This was the Burton On Trent (Wetmore Sidings) to Carlisle, the point of origin being used in lieu of Derby R.T.C apparently due to ongoing works at the latter.
