Question Hmmm

Looks totally faked.

Anyone have any way of explaining why the a/c supposedly creating the wing-tip vortex effect isn't in the centre of it......?

Cheers

Simon- silly boy! It's real- it's in the hover!

My God but they were good! How did they do it?

(Mrs. Notso used to know someone who acted as chauffeur to Sylvia Anderson taking her between home and the studio on the industrial estate in Slough where T'birds was filmed. She was quite a skylarker and used to put on the Lady Penelope voice: 'HOME Parker!' and generally make out like Lady P.)

from looking at the big circle/ring shape you can see on the photo it looks like the photographer has zoomed in quite a bit.

He could have been sitting for e.g Seat 1A looking at the a/c as they passed it from left to right just as the 747 was about to fly through a wall of thin could (sorry dont know the technical name) But I suppose theres pleanty of explinations.

Shame really that ever since the introduction of p/shop that you often think is that real, nice shot tho!
