ZM400 taking a tour of the Yorkshire Dales at FL050 before continuing onto the approach at Leeming for training. (15 miles north of my position, apologies for the distant shot!)

Apologies for the poor image, as it was taken on my little camera phone. I managed to catch this Apache doing a couple of circuits above the garden this afternoon, in Brightlingsea, Essex at approx 14.50. Possibly ZJ222, which had been buzzing around London earlier today.

It came inland from across the River Colne, and did a couple of very tight & very loud circuits as it banked around over the town before departing on its journey home to Wattisham I guess? I also managed to catch a pigeon as well!

Gorgeous lighting on Reach 963 this morning and the sound of the old engined C-5B in the quiet coolness of the last day of the year brings a smile to your face :D
