You had a wee bit better luck with the light than I did Dougie!
The U-28s were not well placed for a decent photo either were they?

LM47 the U-28s were in an awful position apart from the one furthest to the right and only with the 1.4x extender on the 100-400mm lens and some heavy cropping on the Mac.
Cheers.
