No I didnt get the reg and I didnt bother looking for it, too busy trying to find the ship!
Aiprox, Flytest? I was at 1501' and he was about 1300' below me so I didnt need to worry abouy that.
My photog is getting on a bit now and slowing down, so he only got this snap as the a/c had cleared the town/harbour on his third circuit, missing all the really juicy opportunities.
As Heliport rightly said, I merely posted the photo for its excellent wind-up value. And if anybody considers me biased, i would have had my man take a snap of the MD500 which was hovering above the waves about 50 metres from the ship (presumably taking photos). Unfortunately this was happening about a mile off-shore, so you'll just have to take my word for it!
Bose-X - if you come on this forum you have to be prepared for everything you say to be disputed, even when, like me, you are right all the time. It's a fling-wing thing.....
