Jon Irwin's Digital Eye
Welcome
Welcome to my site and enjoy my photographic collections. The Site charts my progress from owning my first ever digital camera, A Sony DSCP1, through a Canon EOS350D,Canon EOS 400D and currently a Canon EOS5DMKII. This website is therefore a diary of learning and the pictures in the early days show just how much I had to learn. I also have a professional web site where my more recent work can be viewed.

Thanks for taking time to visit,pop back soon as the site is updated on a very regular basis.

Middlesbrough Mela (19 images)
Middlesbrough Mela is celebrating its 18th year in 2008.


The event started in the town centre in 1991 and soon outgrew the venue and made a very positive move to Albert Park, right in the heart of the BEM community. The park has been the recipient of Heritage Lottery funding to restore it to its former glory and the event benefits from the spectacular back drop.It regularly gets up to 30,000 visitors and even with torrential rainlast year the event attracted 27,000 people.

Dakota GAMPY (KK116) Visits Durham Tees Valley On One Of The Last Flights With Passengers Before The New EU Regulations Force It To Stop Carrying Passengers

Farewell to Passenger Flying
On July 15th 2008, our faithful Dakotas will end their long and flawless passenger carrying duties. But this isn't the comfortable retirement of respected old ladies; we know they have it in them to outlive us all - as anyone who's flown in them will confirm.

Sadly, but not surprisingly, it's spiralling regulations that have achieved what time couldn't. European legislation has decreed that all passenger-carrying aircraft must comply with certain criteria - whatever their age. Some of these modifications would be prohibitively expensive; some are actually impossible to carry out on the DC-3.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has been immensely supportive and helpful, and we're grateful for the help they've given us. But time is passing, and it looks ever more certain that 16th July - the implementation date for the EU-OPS legislation - will see our Daks no longer allowed to carry passengers.
