What is that contraption in the first shot... It's the Gloster Meteor F8 "Prone Pilot" test machine. Used to test if a prone pilot is more capable during G manouvers than a sitting one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloster_Meteor_F8_%22Prone_Pilot%22 I espesially like the ejection system on it: Quote: The prone pilot's emergency escape involved an extremely complex procedure which included jettisoning the rudder pedals, crawling backward to an escape hatch and retracting the nose wheel. Fortunately, this system was never used.

GloDark7 Member Registered: 02/13/11 Posts: 392 Loc: Pale Blue Dot	Yes, they are HDR. 3 auto-bracketed exposures for each picture. A technique not to everyone's taste, but something I like to use now and then. Big place, lots of aircraft, but I didn't get them all. My next visit will be better planned. Full list of aircraft here - Collection Thank you for the comments Glo Few more pics: _________________________ System Phenom II X6 1055T 95W @ 3.5Ghz 8GB DDR3 1333MHz ATI 4850 1GB Windows 7 x64 Ultimate SP1 (on OCZ Agility SSD 60GB) Flight Gear Freetrack 6DoF Saitek Cyborg Evo Force (failed after 6 strong years of service) Saitek X-52 Pro Flight System with Hall Sensor Magnet Mod (flying is good again)
