She bought a Billingham 225 (cheap!) and I bought a Benbo Trekker tripod (also cheap). Because we had to vacate the hotel room at noon and our flight wasn't until 6 p.m. we dropped off our luggage at the Heathrow luggage dept. Every bag and suitcase is X-rayed there. I had a good laugh when I saw my suitcase going though the machine. In my suitcase I saw four diagonally placed bright green tubes. The operator called a colleague and together they looked quite seriously at the screen while undoubtfully discussing the potential danger of my suitcase. Eventually they moved on to an suitcase. I had placed my new tripod diagonally into my suitcase. ========= Bert Keuken
