.............. some more 663 VGS pics



Waiting for launch on the 08 end with the NMSU in the background





Down-wind left with Findhorn Bay in the background

IIRC this was taken on a mid week flying evening in May 1986 so the BBC could get some footage to use on a programme about Prince Andrew. It was to be put out before his wedding later in the year.

To achieve this picture, two Barges had to be launched in quick succession (the first one having to pole bend like b*gg**y) and then formate. I have to say it looked great from the ground. I cant remember who was flying at the time though.
