Williamson F117A Aerial Camera results
|
Aerial picture of Portsmouth, and Royal Navy Dockyard. Taken from 1800ft, 16/8/97 from Piper Cherokee G-AYNJ. The detail is magnificent! The original negative is 126mm square. You can clearly see several Royal Navy Minesweepers, a Class 42 Destroyer, an assault ship (HMS Fearless I think), Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar - HMS Victory and the "Warrior". Even road markings are clearly visible. Now, I know that aerial pictures have a fascination of their own, but you wouldn't thank me for the 23mb original scan, so here are your options. Medium res gif - 132k enough for a taste! or, go for the "I've got free internet access, and don't care about the download time" approach, click the link and go and have a shower while it loads. Even this is a fraction the quality of the original. Seriously, I've timed this at 3min 25sec to download through a 56kps modem which was averaging about 4.5k per/sec. |
