That's right - it wasn't on display when I visited in October 2008.

#203: Re: Bovington 2011 Author: TrevorLarkum, Location: Northampton, EnglandPosted: Mon Jun 13, 2011 8:50 pm ---- I would - at some point I'd like a load of your Bovington shots, but there's no rush as I've a big backlog (and I haven't forgotten I've still got lots more of your Full ones to do!).
Actually, this might be a good time to mention something: I've written a program to rename photos in the scheme you and I use - would you be prepared to try it out? If you could supply photos already named that would be one less step that I would need to go through.
#204: Re: Bovington 2011 Author: Massimo_Foti, Location: Lugano, SwitzerlandPosted: Tue Jun 14, 2011 5:01 am ---- My backlog is getting bigger too. I still have to work on pictures I've took last summer
A good selection of my Bovington images is available on Flickr, including original size copies. You can grab it from there anytime: www.flickr.com/photos/...270470716/

#206: Re: Bovington 2011 Author: Massimo_Foti, Location: Lugano, SwitzerlandPosted: Tue Jun 14, 2011 11:52 am ---- M103A. It's in running order. I was told there is another M103 in reserve, but I haven't seen any picture of it:
