Wow it was nearly 11 years ago I visited this place!. Bulit in 1944 it as a WW2 medium bombers base for the Americans. The tower was well preserved and there are some outbuildings. Dont know the state of them now. No runway anymore just some peri tracks. There was a building that had a stanstead radar on it.

Just a tip to improve your video frame grabs

Take this one:

With deinterlace filter it looks like this:

Video pictures are made of two half frame scans called "fields" with a small time difference between them, so any movement between each half frame shows as a ragged edge to the image. Deinterlace drops one of the field scans and the result looks much nicer.

In photoshop it's in filters>video>deinterlace, you can also do it in most video edit softwares.

Hi Derek, I am aware of interlaced video as film making is my hobby. I took these scans in 2000 when my video technology both computer and cam were very primative compared to now. I wasnt aware that photoshop could deinterlace photos!

Hi Spitfire

Yeah, photoshop has always had a deinterlace filter. More than that though if you have cs4 or 5 you can stitch pan shots together to make panorama pictures.

Suddenly all those old videos take on a new meaning :)
