Not the best photo that I've ever taken, but trying to take a photo of an unlit olive green Merlin against a pitch black background isn't exactly the best conditions.
It was a quick touch and go, luckily he stayed long enough for me to fire off a 30 second exposure once the camera had realized there was actually something to focus on (the light on the front came on for just a few seconds, as did the loadmasters torch). Next time hopefully I will get one head-on, with some lights.
