Cottesmore, 23rd November - a dull day weather wise, and they were using 04 which drastically limits the photographic opportunities too. Still, I had a new camera I needed to test so I spent a couple of hours there anyway.
Starting off at Hooby Lane for some take-offs...


Then I repositioned to the road to the west of the airfield. Alas the ramp is very distant and the lie of the land isn't helpful either:

Run and break...

Then I moved again to the crash gate at the south-west end of the airfield. Landing aircraft are at least a bit lower than over the road, but your scope for different angles is limited.


Good to see those back seats being enjoyed...


The lie of the land here is even worse, cutting off the wheels of taxiing aircraft even if you balance yourself on the small earth mound near the crash gate:

...but at least there's a bit more variety possible if you look for it.



Quite pleased with the new camera. Further tests necessary though...
