The Skeksis Collection
Greetings everyone!
Last week on Monday I spent some time just across the border in Canada visiting
what turned out to be a very nice aviation museum. I had not gone up just for
the museum, they were flying out an Avro Lancaster
and I wanted to be up there to see it. Because I had to work and had to miss
the Belle when she was in Buffalo a few weeks ago I took advantage of the rare
holiday off and made sure I caught this one. Missing the Belle is just one more
of the 'sins' my employer has perpetuated on me in my seven year stint in Hell.
I have attached a short clip extracted from the footage I shot as a teaser,
there are two longer (and larger) versions available to download from my web
site. Just copy the following URLs into your browser and enjoy. I should point
out that I have no skill or training as a cinematographer (and it shows) and
forgot the tripod (and it shows) but you get what you pay for. ;)

This is a real media version that is 320 by 240 resolution weighs in at 11
megs.
www.skeksis.org/lancaster2007medium.zip
This one is in MPEG 2 format that is 720 by 480 and weighs in at 298 megs.
There is an AVI version but it is 1.4 gigs and I do not have enough space to
host it. ;)
Now...for my question....
One thing that I noticed on several planes were the mirrors...
Not all of the aircraft were sporting mirrors, the Spit 17 (?) a ground attack
version made in 1945 did not but there were those that did such as their
Hurricane...
and this Fairy Firefly...
and Fouga jet trainer...
and last night I tried out a demo to a game called RACE (what a creative title)
that has working mirrors on the cars so my question is...
When are we going to get mirrors in Aces High?
