From: the dark side
Having done some air to ground pictures this thread caught my eye. Reading the article it is indeed interesting to wonder how they came so close as 750ft to sizewell and how they measured it, having dealt with low flying complaints in a previous life I am only to aware how inaccurate guesimates of heights and speeds are. At 750ft one would have thought that a fixed wing a/c might have been seen and reported by someone at Sizewell, particularly in view of 'todays' concerns.
And another thought, from 2,000ft a 35mm camera and a 200m lens you can almost fill the frame with a decent size building, thats before you 'selectively' crop the image in the darkroom, or more probably PC. Journo's eh? tsk tsk!

PS I've just realised i've done some freelance work for Archant too! It must be a conspirrysea!
(edited to admit having 'previous' with Archant)
