Another day in the mountains with the Danish Merlins

Post by Ellins » Fri Apr 27, 2018 11:54 am

So after Fridays late winner and with the helicopters still at Valley until yesterday I thought I'd have another stab at it to try and get the second cab. Late on Tuesday I was approached on Facebook buy a member of the crew excited to get some high resolution images to take back home to show family and colleagues. Naturally I obliged and mentioned I was out the following day. To cut a long story short I picked a location on the routing that he'd given me and we'd have three opportunities to shoot the two cabs in the morning subject to weather. Unfortunately M-516 had technical problems and didn't get off the ground so we had M-510 twice (the lighter olive coloured variant). The light was flat and overcast but what will be will be. An enjoyable hour or so nonetheless.
In no particular order.

Another first class set that they will be proud of & shows a different Cab to the Friday offering. Kind of lucky that it was 516 that went tech' out of the two?
Hard to choose but...#2 with weather over the ridges, #14 for action & the super #7 for their family album! :thumb:
