The weather forecast was reasonable so I decided to go across the Pennines to watch the afternoon launch of the Swiss Hornets. The two evening launches take place in the dark, so aren't much good for photos. The first launch goes at around 2.30pm and returns around 3.45pm, just as dusk is falling. This Swiss AF Challenger was parked up all afternoon.

It wasn't quite as sunny as I would have liked, but I can't complain considering the time of year.
