My very own invention; 'Ultra-High Tech Green Coconut - Earthquake detectors'.....a 5.0+ causes the Coconuts to fall off the concrete hand-rail solves arguments between me & the Missus as to who/what caused the Earth to move

Wishing for your safe passage through this disaster VF.

Are you flying rescue missions, or did I read some pages back you were unwell?

VF, I am up late reading news accounts of the death and destruction in the Langtang area...the people of Nepal are in my prayers.

I had contributed to the Red Cross before your assistance account was set up, I hope my small contribution will assist those in need.

Stay safe.

6th Earthquake Report - Nepal

after shocks continue.....the Missus & work staff evacuated their 5 storey building in Thamil yesterday afternoon thinking the building was going to collapse, it was shaking so violently, all were very frightened & crying. Many buildings are becoming weaker & weaker with so many aftershocks. This building collapsed just yesterday

Hello VF,

I am a great admirer of your work and your pictures make me wish I could be up there flying all the time!!

I am very happy that you and your family are all well.

I have always wanted to ask you how do you manage to fly in such high altitude in such difficult terrain yet take such good photos while flying? Absolutely amazing! How do you do it, Sir?
