Time flies: Longines & RAF

A very nice review of an equally nice watch. While Longines is not a brand which comes spontaneously to my mind when discussing aviation and pilot watches, they do have a legitimacy in the field, having provided the Royal Air Force with a nice, simple, readable time instrument back in the 30s (and up to the 60s). The RAF 6b-159.

Full review by Monochrome.

Astrophoto

First attempt at “shooting stars”, from Creux du Van, Switzerland. Suboptimal conditions with an almost full moon and a thin layer of clouds. But an opportunity to learn new techniques and fool around with Lightroom sliders.
