Duxford host a Spittie collection.

I'm not sure whether this is relevant, but a lot of published pictures, particularly the ones that appear at the head of an article, are reversed if the effect is considered more "artistic"!

I guess the best way is to experiment for oneself. Maybe there is more on Gargle these days?


Yep I always find having a cuppa just the job if perplexed.[biggrin]

The main thing is that you had a go. Much appreciated. Meantime, I will just work on my technique for viewing historical photos with a mirror over my shoulder. That seems to work.

Time for another cuppa. [smilebigeye]

You see the same reversed photos in many publications. It is about how the image appears on the page to the reader not about accuracy

Yes, but in this case it’s just ridiculous.

John, I doubt if AULRO is interested in "artistic"but this has occurred on here from time to time, the same Question has been asked but I have never seen a sensible reply. People simply post an image of an engine or vehicle & it can occur. Yep, arris up.


At the end of the day it may be much easier to turn the Monitor onto it's lid.[bigrolf]

I bet there are a few weird looking Land Rovers around the world assembled from shonky images, with every thing back to front.:wallbash::Rolling::rolleyes:

I believe I have 3 of them. As for the OKA, who'd know from a pic?

That'd be an AKO then? Might get confused with an Inter though.[bigrolf]

I recall him saying that he couldn't get used to the new Jet engines as they all sounded pretty much the same & you couldn't identify the aircraft they were in, but earlier with piston engines you could. He thought it was a great shame.

Interestingly some people thought Bader was such a good fighter pilot due to him having no lower legs, for the blood to drain into during high g-force manoeuvres, where other pilots would black out from the blood leaving their brains.
