Hi Wolfie138 and Paddyboy

It was good to get a great feedback on the shots from you both, I was beginning to think maybe the Apache wasn't so popular anymore .I do know a lot of toggers
wouldn't crop their shots so much, but for me I like to see them that way. Anyway, another heavy crop with all the grass and grit flying about, in a vain bid to show
the machines power and movement...All the best Paddy from Trotters Independent Photography (Tip-shots) and South of the Wensum folk...

another cracking shot, thanks.
don't care if others don't like the Apache, i think they're one of the most beautiful machines ever made by man. would kill for a flight in one.

Hi Wolfie138...You have excellent taste mate , that machine is a beast and its great to see and hear it. Its not easy to photograph because of its dark paint scheme and I have had
loads of bad shots in practise for the good weather and light conditions it came in. I'll try and search for some of my old shots and add them when I can for your perusal
and (Misery for the others , that don't like them..ha,ha )see ya mate cheers...

Absolutely gorgeous shots of the apache. I agree with wolfie138 on his opinion of that helicopter. Love to see more of them.

Just for you Mosquito1 and Wolfie 138...A couple from my first encounter in 2016 to capture ZJ200.BTW Mosquito 1, that's a fine part of the country...

thanks :-)
wish i saw these on a regular basis, have only seen about 5 in real life, one at the Sunderland airshow, 2 that went over my house fairly low but no chance to grab a pic, and the others fairly high in the sky. got some pics of the one at the airshow spraying flares but i was a noob at airshow photography and didn't get any decent prop blur :-(

[Mosquito1]

Thanks for the extra shots jaybee. Can't get enough of looking at pictures of that machine. I wish I had been at the Norwich Hospital went it paid a visit. Oh well, one day I will be in the right place at the right time.
