For the July episode of the Frugal Film Project I went to my 'local' airport to catch some of the action there. I made a small change to my setup, the lens I would use today was another frugal lens, an EF 70-210mm f/3.5-4.5 USM lens that cost me € 20. The camera remained the same, my Canon EOS 1000N. Reviewing the photos I found that most are quite the same so I opted to show you just two.
Choice number one is a former Royal flight Dakota, C-47A PH-PBA. The 'PB' in the registration points to HRH Prince Bernhard, an accomplished pilot. This Dakota was delivered to the US Army Air Force with serial number 42-100971. After World War Two it was transferred to the Netherlands for government use. It was later transferred to a museum, restored and is now in use with DDA Classic Airlines with the markings it had when flown by the prince.
Choice number two is an Army Air Corps (AAC) Wildcat AH.1 helicopter with serial number ZZ384. The Wildcat is the current troop transport helicopter of the AAC, replacing the similar Lynx helicopter. In this shot, the overall vignetting of the 70-210mm lens is quite visible.
