I can still taste the dirt...[updated with a few more]

Post by RickIngham »

*Sorry for the amount of pics!*

Had the week off work to go to France and Germany with RichPittman but due to the Volcano it was cancelled. Dispite going out everyday i drew a blank...until 14:30 today when this big green thing dropped into down in front of us...

Now i need a shower - finding sand in my ears, hair, mouth - I won't even start on the state of my camera...
Hopefully my second week off will be more fruitfull!! Thanks for the looking...

Great catch with the HC2 Rick and an excellent effort. Looks a tough assignment for the crews and the photographer! Illustrates perfectly the crews skill set. Very impressive. I like the Lynx over the road alot. A2a! :clap:

Good to catch up today.

Cheers, ian
