And to you, Martin; I could do with avoiding food for a couple of  
weeks now :-)

Thanks for showing those photos of Bath and Duxford, both places  
close to my heart: I went to school near Bath, a place called  
Downside, and I live near Duxford and like the old aircraft.

But I think that your scanner has done you a disservice as many of  
the images are quite soft.  The compositions look good from the  
thumbnails, but many of the larger displays have a disappointing  
softness to them.  For instance, Bath-Paxtons is nice and sharp, but  
Bath-Abbey-03 is soft and the highlights on the van's C-pillar are  
strange.

Are you using a flatbed scanner, perhaps?
