Coningsby - 17th & 18th December

Post by Viv » Thu Dec 20, 2012 2:41 pm

Hi all,

Thought i'd have a final 2 day trip, before the Christmas break.

Firstly I have to say a huge thank you, to the usual suspects I meet there. Guys it is always fantastic to see you & really does make my visits very enjoyable.

Weather was looking promising, so thought i'd have the Monday at New York side & Tuesday CG1 :)

Pics following. Thanks for looking & Merry Christmas

I know a man who may like 3 & 4, I personally love 10 with the asymmetric overshoot - sounds better than low approach any day. Merry Xmas

Thanks Ted, just send your man the thread link, or get him to pm me - if he wants. That overshoot was nice, it was nicely dusk. You too have a good one & hope to see you again soon xx

Cheers Blakey - need a wider angle (the lens was a 5mm wide fish eye), was thinking of the lakes by Tattershall Castle - that could work........

Shot 11 does it for me and is that's Ted's car in the last shot.

Regards.

Mark.

Yes it is Mark, all fired up and ready to launch, just as soon as those Haddocks and Rampages had finished.

Thanks Mark - first time I've seen wing trails, while taking off !!

Warm cars were needed at the end of the day :)

Hi Viv,

Great to see you on Tuesday.
Love shots 5 and 6.
Jealous of 13, just as my battery ran out haha.

Have a great Christmas, see you soon,
