A log for to-day on what was a lovely warm day. They were using 09 for what reason I don't know as the wind was for 27 meaning that the helicopters were a good way away for photography for the 20 or so enthusiasts present. I also thought that the ATC was well below par as pilots were regularly asking for ATC to repeat instructions. It turned out that some one had knocked or moved the antenna and things were much better after that. Saturday, 14 April, 2018 Aintree Racecourse

Still sorting through etc, but glad I managed to get some clear ones of the koala. As a relative newbie (1yr 1week since I bought the DSLR, specifically for Aintree heli's for starters..) , getting a little better at panning while using Tv and a fairly slow shutter to try and get some rotor blur.  Monty arriving at the end of the morning's arrivals, nice hover and slow movement at the end .  Camera ship G-NLSE (callsign Osprey-66 during the weekend) in the evening sunshine..  G-MUZZ departing at the end of the day.  Little and large   G-SENS leaving as one of the last to go (followed about 5 seconds later by G-HOLM).  EI-LIM leaving at 18:11  |

Urgemente thanks for your photo posts. Much appreciated, but it would be better if you posted them on one post instead of individual ones. When you have uploaded the first press enter twice and it leaves a space and then post your second one and so on and so on. Hope this helps, regards Beemer. Was that you sat with Mrs Urgemente behind us at Aintree?.

Was that you sat with Mrs Urgemente behind us at Aintree?. D'oh, sorry, wasn't exactly wide awake when I did those earlier, I'll remove them and put them into one post. Yup, that was me sat with the girlfriend just behind and right of the front row We went back to watch the main race later on then I stayed put to get more heli's leaving, she went home. Edit : Done, all in first post now ,sorry for the brain fade, I'm most definately NOT a morning person! Ian531, that's a cracking one of TXTV ! Are you the Ian I was talking to in the evening? |
