Internal mail is faster than Post office then!!!
There IS a solution here - http://www.how2become.co.uk/royalairforce.htm
Do they take people who are the wrong side of 40 - I somehow think not!!
My dear friend, only for the younger ones I'm afraid as, sadly, we do not.......

Funny, I could have sworn that I was there on the Sunday in the frogeye accompanied by two friends in their MG Midgets, but apparently according to the DVD it seems none of us were actually there. I must have dreamt it.

Oh well, I'll have to make sure I go for the whole weekend next time.

I got back from working away and looked at mine - excellent quality photos and a very well put together DVD - and Hannah, there's loads of the Cobra, funny old thing!

Some lovely stills of the MGA, particularly the one with Gary's frogeye alongside!

Regarding the DVD, I understand that the photogs had issues with the kit or memory capacity on the Sunday, which I think is the reason why so few of the sessions were covered by video that day (not sure that the A group got any coverage there?). Couldn't be predicted, but I think they have learned from it and I will mention it (in the nicest possible way) to them for next time. Top job otherwise with lots of good pictures and video of nice cars being used and abused.....

I have to admit that the image of me looking over at you as I went past is a blindingly good photo. It's a pity that I passed you under a full course yellow flag, otherwise it would have been a marvelous overtaking move.

Just got the discs, excellent production and thanks for a lot of footage this time. Great camera shots, dare I say it better than April!!

Couple of quick questions, cannot play the dvd on the PC even with different dvd player software and I cannot download a lot of the photos, I have had to skip quite a lot.
Played the dvd on the tv dvd set up and it plays okay although it freezes in places and I have to skip the chapter.

Any help on software etc which will show the full dvd in nice flowing action and allow me to copy the photos to my hard drive would be greatly appreciated.

Once again, well done to the lads and lasses of RAF Marham for a fantastic event and allowing me and the rest of the crowd I brought to have a fantastic weekend . The fact that it is a charity do makes it all the sweeter....everyones a winner!!!

BIG THANK YOU!!

As you went past? I seem to recall that you drew level after I had screwed up the corner entry, but that superior driving and machinery thereafter enabled me to pass you......of course recollections of these things are always different. And, as you acknowledge, there was scant regard paid to course regulations at that moment, rather like your earlier do-or-die dive up the inside on Lara...... I suppose that the only artistic improvement to the picture would have been if one, or both of us, had been doing a McQueen style Le Mans salute to the other.

Polo G40 - thats your car right?

File names on the disc are

MAR_07_1130A_OUT_UNCLASS_179.jpg & MAR_07_1130A_OUT_UNCLASS_185.jpg

And I'm pretty sure I've seen photos of the same car on previous cd'S

Also received my DVD and photo CD. I didn't think there was much chance of being on either as I only managed about 3 laps on the Sunday before my engine blew. But having trawled through the photo's I managed to find 2 that included me. One shows me in front of a long line of cars, I told the children I was leading the pack, but somehow I don't think they believed me smile
Hopefully I will be able to make the next Marham trackday and spend a little more time on the track.
MM.

Hi Tom

Nothing of your car moving on the DVD. But there were some stills shots at the end of it where your car featured.

I was there Sat & Sun with 2 drivers covering around 250 to 300 miles...and we didn't get any DVD footage either...well apart from a few background shots wink But a very well put together DVD this time top job!

Some excellent Photos aswell...

I've sold my Golf now, on the hunt for something quicker and RWD, but this pic has made me sad! Looks so at home on the track!
