We all cope and have to be patient when operational vehicles and staff cross our line of sight but one of your own!? Do you think it entered his head that there was an army of others behind wanting the same shot? Well, I guess he got his shot so that's okay then!!!

In my case whenever I take a picture of a plane a load of reaper supporters get in the way. Nice haircuts though
