Quite an action shot you've grabbed there. :clap:

Will definitely miss the Sea King.

Awesome, mate. One of those types you take for granted and suddenly they're all gone and there's a huge gap left to be filled.

Speaking of, what's the latest re Crowsnest (or however it is spelt, acronymed, or referred to)?

Right place, right time! What a bit of luck you're the only one to be there for it. Excellent shot from a never to be repeated opportunity. :clap:

Lovely stuff. I wish I'd made the effort, but happy I've caught the last few in recent months.

I think you'll find there were quite a few people up there that morning.
