A handful of GA pics

Post by wallace »

A handful of pictures taken on a trip to east Fortune and at Scone over the past couple of months... they are not exactly your run of the mill photos...
Landing at East Fortune. I dare say one must be prepared for a go-around.

We found this, what must be the ultimate lawn ornament near Edinburgh Airport, a Eurocopter EC120.

I really like the set Wallace. :smile: I know you always look for a different slant on things and long may you do it. The first shot over the roundabout
would have made a motorist look twice :lol: and a pedestrian gape. The scenery is nice, dramatic and the Vermin Squadron look pretty fragile and vulnerable set against the backdrops.
The Edinburgh aerial shots would fit nicely in them sort of books, Scotland from the Sky sort of thing.. :up:
Don't say something crass, to hide your envy. Just give credit, when its applicable...
