I did mention that, there was a reason for asking.The reason for asking was with regard to an 'open-top' photo-bus for getting 'overhead' shots of the static aircraft parked-up on friday late afternoon or early evening when all the arrivals are in for the 2012 RAF Waddington airshow. Today, I was told by the airshow office via 'flyboy', that they would be happy for this to happen. So as to get an idea of the numbers who might be interested, who might be up for it ? Seats will be limited, but we might get another 'run' in on the same night, thus I need to know how long to hire the bus from stagecoach Lincoln. The main idea being, that we set-off from a 'point' and go in one direction, then return to start 'point' so the other 'snappers' sitting on the other seats of the upstairs,can get their chance. Lets be very clear about this, seeing as 'media' have their day for exclusive photo's on the 'thursday', this is designed for the 'non-media' brigade of which I'm one of or so I was informed last week, however, if 'media' want to come along with us, they are welcome. The idea is similar to the last photo-call at RAF Cottesmore of the Harriers, which a 'donation' was made for the 'troops'. A donation to the RAF Waddington airshow supported charities would be nice gesture for the team allowing this photo-call/drive-by.
