Hope I've done this right.

Way to go, let the world know you keep your passwords in a file on your desktop :doh:

Cool pick to by the way :)

Hi k3lt01

That document is a file I was writing about how to create secure passwords for some of my students :-D

I must say I'm impressed by your eagle-eye however.

Many thanks for the post.

PS
 

The desktop wallpaper is a shot I made last year from my bedroom window during the Sunderland International Airshow, UK. They were so low I could have thrown peanuts at them :-D

Ah, sorry about that. I am sometimes amazed at how lax in security some people are. I shouldn't have jumped the gun in your case. I was looking in awe at the planes and saw that as I was about to minimise again :)

Absolutely stunning, you have a very steady hand (or a tripod?) I know I couldn't take a shot like that and it come out so clear.

My local airport (regional airport) is a training base for British Aerospace and we often have pilot training flying between it and Williamstown near Newcastle (Australia). I couldn't throw nuts at them but they do get very low and close in the farm lands (not around the town of course).

Rock steady :-)
 

Hi k3lt01

I'm really flattered that you like the pic. I took it using my daughter's JVC camcorder that has stills capacity. It's got a x10 digital zoom but only 1.3Mpixels. The planes were flying very slow as part of the display and I braced my hand against the window frame. I took 3 during different passes although this was the best.

Probably "naughty", I have uploaded the files as attachments for you. Enjoy :-D

I have always loved aircraft and used to race models but only twice flew a real plane (too expensive). My brother and his wife live in Bathurst, my niece and her husband in Forbes - Small world.

Very small. I used to make the annual pilgrimage to the Bathurst 1000 race each October. Now I just watch it on TV. Forbes is a nice place. Parkes, Peak Hill and Forbes have fascinating frontier settlement/Bush ranger history.

Hi weirdwolf - many thanks for the comment - flattered.

I need to own up however, the third attachment is not the image I intended and is one I downloaded from a local site. :doh:

Whatever, just pleased to know others like them.
