Great shot Barry, worthy of a desktop background.

Wow, what a great shot with the sun on the aircraft like that!

Nice shot in the low sun Baz

**Rebel** · 08-03-2016 09:07

First the Corsair, my favourite WW2 Airplane and now the SE 5a my favourite WW1 Aircraft.
It doesn't get any better than this.
Thanks Barry.

Do these people in fact, do promotional posters? If so, how do I get them in the US?

**Teaticket** · 08-03-2016 09:27

Beautiful.

Work sent me to NZ a couple times back in the 90's. I'd love to go now and see these!

**Mike George** · 08-03-2016 10:48

Great one Baz

No but they do issue a Calendar for sale each year.
Check out the Vintage Aviator website & Omaka Museum site. They also have DVD's available.

**Marechallannes** · 08-03-2016 16:17

What's that chest on the upper wing of the DH.5 for?

Ah, that would be the auxilliary gravity fuel tank...or a Lewis gun he forgot to unpack before fitting a la SE5a!!!!

Actually none of the Historical Aviation Film Unit (HAFU), The Vintage Aviator (TVAL), or the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre (OAHC) produce an annual calendar.

There is one photographer in NZ who produces a (small) calendar in collaboration with the New Zealand Warbirds Association, which features a variety of aircraft. I'm afraid for political reasons I'm not going to mention any names, but if you really want a copy you can check out the merchandise page of the OAHC website.

TVAL does sell a few of those calendars through their hangar shop, but not through their website. They also sell Phil Makanna's excellent WW1 Ghosts calendars through their hangar shop. If you want a good calendar featuring WW1 aircraft (most of them TVAL ones), you can't go past Phil's work: http://ghosts.com/products/2015-worl...one-calendar-1

From our (HAFU) point of view, generally it's not worthwhile producing calendars or posters, simply because we're at the nether regions of the earth, and generally those of you in the Northern Hemisphere don't like paying for shipping paper from way down here, to where you are -- shipping any printed material is not cheap unfortunately.

However, in saying that, virtually all of the photos that you'll find on our website (http://www.aviationfilm.com), or on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/AviationFilm/) are available for purchase -- all you have to do is ask. We're happy to give you a price for printing and shipping -- all you have to do is let us know what image you're interested in, and how big you want it.

To be honest I'm not too keen at this stage to spend a great deal of time making up a whole table of prices and sizes, but if enough of you express interest here then we might reconsider, which would then give you a good feel for what you'd have to spend to get a print of your favourite HAFU image ;-)

Cheers
Allan

Worth knowing; thank you very much. I'll have to look into it.
