From a Waddington a few years ago. :whistle: Waiting to go air-side, while all the action is taking place for those at the fence to capture and we wait for the aircraft to land for us to then photograph them on the ground. :'( :whistle: :P .. Image It used to make me smile as I watched the faces of the photographers.Bags full of lovely equipment all zipped up and some aircraft tearing the place down ,un-able to get a chance to get a squint at the action :S :O
