I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Wander, just lucky I guess. I have seen far better youtube clips. This is just a helicopter in the fast land, left of screen on dash cam of car in fast lane on right of screen.. Shot clip, no wobbles, nothing to see, move on

Maybe a fatuous question, but why can I see rotor blades clearly on one side of the helicopter, but not on the other ? If the camera speed is sufficient to "freeze" the advancing (?) blade, then why not the retreating one ?

Yes, bit of a giveaway that the blade appears with sky in the background but vanishes where foliage is behind. Also no sign of downwash in the bushes it's nestling in!

Photoshoped, but funny. I guess you have to know what the helicopter is to appreciate the joke

WW, so do I but on a stretch of the A52 it was bedlum in the car. The SatNag tell me of the cameras, the detector burbling away at census boxes, speed displays and the odd tractor with its laser running.

Easier to unplug and drive under the limits.
