These GR8's don't half move!






When Squadron Leader Bloggs barked the order to 'Get the photographer!', he omitted to mention he was in reception!



Photographers note for numpties: The last picture is taken wiv a chuffin big lens, therefore the plane and photographer look much closer than they actually are, you know, a bit like american wing mirrors an all that

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!]

#1) Unfortunately, during the preflight Bloggs had accidently left his packed lunch on the top of the aircraft. Miraculously though, it was still there.

#4) I see they haven't quite ironed out all the problems with the VTOL mechanism then

jg, 'Stuff' is right, find a good car parking spot and obeying the Countryside code, head upwards!

CJ, I'd managed to blag a 100-400f4 IS/USM off a mate for the day ( MC), and its nailed onto my 1DMKII. This has a 1.3 magnification factor due to it being digital. Later in the summer (prolly Sept) the big guns will be out, we'll play with a 600+1.4 converter, and may try a 1200 if we can blag it. From our planned locations we are anticipating some interesting results. So if any of you see a bloke pointing a white dustbin on a pole at you, it may be me.

ta for the comments chaps
