Are auctions used for money laundering here or what?
So, I recently started playing and understand most of the game and everything. I want to get a couple of 747s, which are around 130k (and 20c) in the new shop, but noticed a ton of them being sold at auctions. For some reason, every single one gets sold for 900k, while being a factory standard aircraft, with no special livery and a bit of age wear. Who in their right mind spends enough money to buy 5+ brand new SPs on a single one at auctions?

Reliability and repairability of a Calypso and Nikonos I
Hi all! I've been thinking about getting something a bit more rugged for the summer vacation and there's a Calypso on sale locally for 150€. Now, I know that the more modern stuff like the the Nikonos V are a maintenence hell with 15+ o-rings most of which aren't user serviceable. Now, I know that the V is way more advanced so it got me wondering about the I. How many rings does it have and in general, how hard are they to replace (I have a lot of experience with repairing regular 35mm cameras). Also, are the rings available in normal stores or are they something extremely specific to the camera? I'm generally planning to have it on my raft so it might get splashed a bit or potentially dive to a meter or two for a really short period.
Also also, should I get the local Calypso or order a Nikonos I from ebay, since they are slightly cheaper, which one is overall better to get?

I recently found out that there was an abandoned DC-3 relatively close to me and went to visit. It's unfortunately completely wrecked now, but there are still tons of artifacts that I can preserve.
It was a DC-3 () used by JAT, yugoslav airlines and then the yugoslav air force. Later on, it was relocated to a truck stop as a display, but after the truck stop closed it fell into disrepair and was completely destroyed during the past 20 years. I picked up a few bits of it, but it was completely overgrown, so I'll definitely be back for more. Next time, I'm planning to get the steering column (which has broken off, but is still held in place by the cables) and the construction for the pilots seat. I'd love to try finding the manufacturer's plate, but I can't find any info on where exactly it was located on the plane, so any info would be helpful. Also, any tips on polishing the aluminium back to the original shine? It's way thinner than I imagined, so I doubt that the wire brush will be a good idea.
Also, a long shot, but does anyone possibly have any ideas about what the pieces in the photos are, they are definitely from the cockpit area or the front hallf of the plane?

How did photographers get good exposure back in the day when they needed to take a shot that required a split-second reaction?
Firstly, I want to start off with mentioning that I'm already fairly experienced with analog photography (3+ years of experience on anything from a Nikon F4 to a Mamiya 23, developing and everything else) and I know about sunny 16, so this isn't a basic "how does exposure work" question.
Looking at photos from WW2, Korea and Vietnam for example, all of them have fairly good exposure (as in they are usable as photos and while they do have some over/under exposure are still overall good), but have been taken in a split second, with no time to meter, especially on old, handheld match-needle meters and then set the camera accordingly. I know that by the time of Vietnam war, cameras with built in meters started appearing, but they still took a second or two to set correctly, which could make you miss a shot.
Now, I know that sunny 16 is the most basic thing, but lately I've been finding myself being quite wrong when using it because stuff seems brighter to me than to the meter (for example, I guess 100th at f8, meter shows 30th at f4.5). I usually just take one metering and then shoot for an hour or so with those settings until the light changes, but I was generally wondering if there was any other, better method. I usually shoot protests and there are some moments that have complex lighting, but no time to meter so that's why I'm asking.
