Yes.

Thanks guys all i need now is the rain to stop so i can get out

Not on my tripod you wouldn't, but then again, I need a decent tripod.

I leave it ON but my tripod is too far from perfect - it's Manfrotto 724. When wind is very strong it's ON, when railway nearby, it's ON. When weather quiet and calm I can make it OFF

Just tried with the VR on & off they look much the same i think
Photo 1 is with VR on #2 is off

When the Mig-27 soaring overhead I'm ready
When I seat on the Topelov TU-154, I wet myself

mitedo,
What VR is it?

70-200mm f2.8 VR

When I went back to Siberia, to visit my parents, and I saw this rusty junk (TU-154) in Incheon Airport (Korea), you won't believe me but I almost got wet myself, thinking that I have to fly few hours inside of it

What shutter speeds were in play?

What aperture?

At faster shutter speeds the VR will make little difference.

Try shooting something at 1/60, 200mm and whatever aperture is apprpriate for the given lighting conditions.

The two shot were at 20sec f18 in AP mode @190mm
