    I feel so humbled and inspired by these early pilots especially the fortitude of the women in those times.

    HMM.. What's Vita-Lick Ltd.?

    "Vitalick was the original livestock supplement in Australia and has been assisting in livestock nutrition since the 1920." according to the current (2009) supplier, Rational Nutrition Pty. Ltd.

    it's ridiculous how small that ad is.

    this scene today would probably involve a sheep shaped plane.

    Oh wow they had Canon 1Ds mkIII's in 1882?! Hehe I guess you are using this to speed up the scanning workflow, good idea. The results are very nice, I am sure you are busy but I would be very interested to see a snap of your capture setup and a bit of info about lighting, exposure etc. if you don't mind sharing and have the time of course. Keep up the good work =)
