Good photos. Thanks for posting them. Hoping to check out this bar sometime next week.

Dogma

The Green Berets.

Agreed, but then again i have personnal reasons to hate them!

Yep, understood, but thought you still had level 1 access though?

Phil has a seperate section on the PL board for supporting his boxes.

Great photos Sam, may have to pay a visit there myself someday soon,

Interesting photos. Also gave you a greenie!

Also,this was a test run, as im going to be in Thailand in 4 weeks time and needed to see what the camera can do.

Cheers Butch. I bought the body and lens together. I think the BA jets look so bright because of the fencing and foilage infront of them. Maybe i played around with one too many of the functions at the time. As stated, this was a test run. You get loads of spotters in that area most days, dependent on take off patterns and weather.

I bought a Canon 100d

Just bought myself a new DSLR for Xmas, so thought i was test drive it out in preparation for my upcoming to trip to Thailand in January. Seeing as im about a 10 min walk to Heathrow i strolled down to Hatton Cross to take a few piccy's of the planes and surrounding area for you.

Carry on up the Khyber(sp!)

Saigon zoo, it doesnt exactly get a very good write up on Tripadvisor, and mainly has people slating them for the conditions the animals are in, but to be honest, ive seen a lot worse conditions in Thai Zoo's. Located not far from the centre of the city, Saigon zoo i found to be a nice retreat from the hustle and traffic of the city. Cant remember the entrance fee, but it cant of been more than 20,000 VND. The grounds seem to be quite big but as it started to rain when i was there, i think i missed quite a bit of the gardens area out. Its worthy of a couple of hours to tour around, and seems to be full of school children and families when i visited. http://www.saigonzoo.net/ http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g293925-d317904-Reviews-Zoo_and_Botanical_Gardens-Ho_Chi_Minh_City.html Someone has a water fetish................................

Part 2 of the trip around Chernivtsi.................................... This thread is dedicated to a good friend of mine, who was killed during a mortar attack on his F.O.B near Donestk early Saturday morning................R.I.P. Tanks, just for Steve as he keeps asking to see them............................. Good luck trying to work out the arrivals and departure board!!............................. This is the old Synagogue, which is now a cinema.........................................

A320 if i remember correctly

This is the beautiful city of Chernivtsi, situated in the South West of the Ukraine, and only a 30 min drive to the Romanian border, which also would have doubled as my escape route, should the situation in the East of the country take a turn for the worst whilst i was there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernivtsi This city is a 8 hour "bus" journey, or a 13-14 train journey. I quite fancy the train journey next time, as it is through the day time, where as the bus leaves Kiev at 10pm and arrives in Chernivtsi at 6am, and vice versa with the same timings for the return journey back to Kiev. The Ukraine used to be known as the bread basket of Europe, and im quite keen to see this landscape at some point. Very much a university city, with a dominating University building in the centre of town, this place is packed with students, with eye candy for all tastes.............

And how "flexible" were the dates that came up for that price?

Always take the Skytrain and Subway whenever im in BKK. Have you seen some of those Uni girls that catch the train! lol
