Apache snowstorm

Post by IanH »

A few from a very cold day out on SPTA. During one of the rare occasions we had some sun, this 673 Squadron Apache called by to provide an excellent snow pass. Many thanks to the crew.

Not sure of the temperature but rest of the time it was bleak, cold but entertaining;

Ian,

That Apache sequence is excellent. I really like the first shot and the last one of the Squirrel.

The shots of Rich are even better though! :tongue: :grin:

Cheers,
Andy

The First Apache shot is superb Ian, As for Rich, that's just hard-core & what we have come to expect from a Somerset boy... :wink:

First one is superb, really adds to the menacing look of the Apache.
