Hi Dave The plane in the vid is a Baltimore. The heading to the vid is incorrect. I have scanned in two color plates of an SAAF Baltimore and Maryland as a reference. Marcus

Hi Aru
I use Adobe Premier (cheap off the shelf commercial editing software) to edit my videos. I have a small Sony HandyCam and a standard, old, desktop pc. When I have finished my project I save it firstly as an AVI file. This is for my own use to replay on my DVD/TV. Good quality but takes up huge amount of space. I then save the same clip/file as a Windows Media file. After I burn the AVI clip/s to a DVD I delete the all the video from my hard drive. My old coffee-grinder would never be able to store the huge amounts of data. Whereas the AVI of my last Harvard posting (today) was more then 1Gig my Windows Media copy that went to Youtube and to our list here was a tad more then 9 Mb. With the Youtube concept you will not get a sharper picture then the one we presently get. (Not for the foreseeable future at least) If we could all upload AVI files we would be able to see better quality but it would take days to upload larger video clips. Having said all of the above Youtube and similar sites do allow us to share videos that would have stayed in the closet in the past. I am married with two daughters. Nobody at home has a real interest in aircraft, tanks, ships etc… Here on the list I know are likeminded people that appreciate the time and effort one puts into making a short video clip on a topic we all find interesting.
That gives you some idea of what I do, hope it can help you? Would be interesting to hear what the other guys do?
All the best
Marcus

Hi all. Taking my daughter to Karapiro yesterday I drove past Hamilton airport and saw Canadair CL-600 Challenger N7JM on the apron. Aircraft belongs to Joyce Meyer Ministries. Always good to see something “new” Have a great day Marcus

Hi all, I have posted to the list on the odd occasion. As it's school holls at the moment as good a time as any to introduce myself. What's your name? Marcus Duvenhage Where are you from? Originally from South Africa but have been in NZ, Hamilton for nearly four years now. How old are you? 43 What is your main interest in aviation? Is it historic? Airlines? Military... Interested in al aspects of aviation. Have a soft spot for SAAF military aircraft of the late 1950's - 1990's. Can thus understand why a lot of the local guys miss the Skyhawks. Do you belong to any aviation groups, like the NZ Warbirds, RNZAF Association, Royal Aeronautical Society or CAF, etc? No Are you an aircraft modeller? (Scale or R/C) Used to have 100's of scale models in SA but lost all of them when coming over! Intend to get back into the hobby asap. What are your favourite aviation books? "Vlamgat" An Afrikaans word which means flaming arse. I served in the army for some time and this was the callsign the PBI used for any fast moving SAAF fighter-jet, be it Mirage III, F 1, Buccanneer or Impala (Aeromachi MB336) The book is about the history of the Mirage F 1 in SAAF srevice. When time permits I read as much as possible about NZ aviation history. I have enjoyed Bryan Cox's, Cats Have only Nine Lives. What are your favourite aviation films or TV programmes? Top Gun for the flying scenes and the music, not the story line... Do you frequent other aviation forums? Only one: www.flyafrica.info/forums/Have you any comments or suggestions for this forum, to hopefully improve your own personal usage and enjoyment on the forum? No, think it is agreat as it is! I like the format.
