The Avro Lancaster is a British four-engine heavy 

bomber used by the Royal Air Force and Allies 

during the Second World War. Of the 17 known 

Lancasters remaining in the world, only two are 

airworthy of which VR-A is one. 

Part of the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum 

of Hamilton, Ontario VR-A was built at Victory 

Aircraft in Malton, Ontario, in 1945. 

Although the aircraft never saw active service, it 

was used for post war Search and Rescue 

operations under Maritime Air Command. 

It was withdrawn from service on 6 November 

1963 and was displayed in Goderich, Ontario from 

1964 to 1977 before being stored at Dunnville, 

Ontario. During its time it had clocked up over 

4,390 hours on the airframe.

It was saved from destruction by the Royal Canadian 

Legion branch in Goderich and later acquired by 

Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum (1978), where 

it underwent a 10-year restoration program. It has 

remained airworthy since 1988. 

The aircraft is flown in the paint scheme of KB726 

coded VR-A, depicting the aircraft of No. 419 

Squadron RCAF in which Canadian Andrew 

Mynarski won the Victoria Cross. 

On the 4 August 2014, it flew to Britain to take part 

in a series of events in the UK in formation with the 

world's only other airworthy Lancaster, PA474. The 

North Atlantic crossing included stops at Goose Bay 

Canada, Narsarsuaq Greenland, and Keflavik Iceland 

finally arriving at RAF Coningsby, home of the Battle 

of Britain Memorial Flight. This was the first Atlantic 

crossing by a Lancaster since 1975.

Wildlife Borneo - Another Day in Paradise 

Sabah Reef by Gary Bridger 

The underwater world of Sabah Reef is threatened by development and irresponsible tourism. Here is just a 

glimpse of the fragile beauty that may soon disappear. 



Flowers are a subject that serves people in many ways. Some 

people grow them for shows and exhibits, others just for 

pleasure. 

Other people might not have the opportunity, space or desire to 

grow flowers, but even they will look at a well groomed garden 

or border. 

Then there are the others, people like me who enjoy 

photography. 


I love to take many different subjects, but when that spark of 

inspiration departs there is one subject that is all around me 

that attracts the attention of the lens …. Flowers. 

The main attraction is really the stunning variety of colour and 

form, scent is also important for me, but you can’t photograph 

a scent and expect to convey its sweetness in the picture. But 

we try, and will keep trying to get the image ‘just so’ to allow 

the viewers senses to imagine the sweetness of the flower. 




We are heading out of Kampala early to get ahead of 

morning traffic, wise choice! 

By the time sun hits the sky we are ready to pull 

over for that breakfast Rolex, stretching, and getting 

some extra supply of drinks and snacks, Queen 

Elizabeth is a good 10 hour drive from Kampala so 

better get stocked up and comfy… 

Spirits are high and the scenery passing our car 

window is changing, from city traffic to village life 

to wildlife already before entering the gates we have 

spotted our first elephant. 


We slowly travel through the park to check in at the 

lodge, passing elephants, buffaloes and Kobs. 

In the morning we head straight out on our mission, 

to track lions with the Uganda Carnivore Program, 

track them through GPS and drive straight up to 

them. 

Well :straight” is a relative term in the bush, it is an 

adventures of its own to get to where the Lions are, 

even when you know where to look. 

After the days journey it is nice to have a cool 

shower and head way for sundowner in the park and 

dinner in the bush, while the sun sets behind the 

lake, this is life at its best! 

But failure is not an option, and we find our first 

lions, two males still resting after last night’s hunt, 

warming up in the morning sun. 

We also find the leftovers covered with vultures. On 

our way back, heading for breakfast, there she is, a 

leopard! A park that just keeps on giving… 


And the sector keeps giving a stop by the hyenas den 

we are just a few meters from the two hyena cobs 

stretching and yawning when waking up. 

A “short” drive from QE to another part of the park 

lays the Ishasha sector, my favorite place around 

here, with a bit of luck, we found more…the tree 

climbing lions. 


Tomorrow, we will be back in QE for a boat cruise at 

Kazinga channel…stay tuned.

A Study in Nature - Tawny Owl 

Pictures by Scott Latham 

The tawny or brown owl - Strix aluco - is a thick set, medium-sized owl found in woodlands across much of 

Europe and Asia. Its under parts are pale white or off white with dark streaks, and the upperparts can be 

brown or grey. 

The nest is usually in a tree hole where it can protect its eggs and young. This owl is non-migratory and 

highly territorial. Many young birds starve if they cannot find a vacant territory once parental care ceases. 

This nocturnal bird of prey hunts mainly rodents, usually by dropping from a perch to seize its prey, which 

it swallows whole vision and hearing adaptations and silent flight aid its night hunting.

I am no expert on mushrooms or toadstools so I do not pick or touch them … usually 

but it is the time of year when people start to wonder if I am really dead or just pla 

when they happen on it by accident maybe. The fact is if you want to photograph the 


nd dirty is an optional autumn pastime 

n the road is always a crowd pleaser, well not 

et down to their level.

The church of Notre Damme en Vaux in Chalons-en- 

Champage in the Marne, was built between the 12th 

and the 15th century and is a mix of roman and gothic 

styles. 


The Hartsholme Country Park covers over 200 

acres to the south of the city of Lincoln, England. It 

contains a large variety of wildlife and during the 

autumn displays a stunning spectacle of colour as 

the trees shed their leaves ready for the winter.

Weaver Birds and Nest 


Although the fact is well known, it is equally well ignored . Most birds, insects and many larger animals 

spent the majority of their lives in bushes and trees, or under leaves. Their world is not in the open in plain 

view, it is hiding in the undergrowth searching for food or just hiding from people. 

Most people walk around viewing the vista before them, many photographers are guilty of doing the same. 

They miss most of the world around them because they have not yet learned to see what is contained within 

that vista. 

It helps to know what to expect in 

various locations and environments, 

birds in bushes is an easy one to 

understand, but you will not find a 

brimstone on the sandy beach no 

matter how hard you look. 

Know the subject and their 

camouflage, after a while you will see 

those critters who are trying to hide, 

and may even get to take the pictures. 


This series of images was taken on Cape Cod, MA, USA by Patricia earlier this year. The Osprey is a bird 

of prey that feed almost exclusively of fish 

The osprey (Pandion haliaetus) is also known as the fish eagle, sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk it is a 

fish-eating bird of prey and is classed as a medium raptor, reaching more than 60 cm (24 in) in length and 

180 cm (71 in) across the wings. Brown on the upperparts and generally grey/white on the head and 

underparts. 

The osprey frequents a wide variety of habitats, nesting in any location near water providing an adequate 

food supply. It is found on all continents except Antarctica.
