Sywell 090408

Post by KarlADrage »

Afternoon all,

With Sammy off school for Easter we decided we'd pop up to Sywell for an hour or so before racing started.

We got quite lucky with a couple of A109s operating with Sloane Helicopters.

The Blades walked for a 1300hrs practice, which took place with the sun darting in and out - typically it was in when you didn't really want it to be, but some of the angles provided by the unusual crowdline were superb.

I might have to pop up another lunchtime when the weather's good! :biggrin:

Not too sure on the progress, Damon, but this is still in place, so I would guess there's still a fair way to go:

Cheers all. :biggrin:

No.10 the money shot Mr D, although I'm sure Shig appreciates the last. :clap:

Really like the Blades shots, especially the penultimate one.

Did he manage to land it on that enormous tractor?
