Aerial Photography Several recent commercial enquiries for
different reasons led to nothing. But Amazon Books came through and
here are some images from 24th June - Another dull and misty summer's
day... here Depicted are: The new bus station
development at Milton keynes, cars parked on Bedford disused airfield, the
Sikh Temple in Bedford, The new housing development south of Broughton in
Milton Keynes, John Lewis new distribution Centre on A421 Milton Keynes,
Amazon Books Junction 13 M1. Flight Training Just a few hours of instruction lately
although during a stalling exercise in the benign Cessna 150 I experienced
the not so common sudden wing drop that woke me up! A 13 pence +VAT
rise in Avgas has done nothing to inspire me. Now at over £1.70 per
litre, fuel prices are having a serious effect on the motivation of many
pilots that are supposed to fly for pleasure let alone for money. My flying on hold now until end of
September. |
Sea and Sailing for Summer 2008 This summer the intention was to spend a
considerable amount of time aboard in decent weather! I finally got to my
little boat for 21st June, the longest day, only to listen to Yarmouth
Coastguard announcing gale warnings that also spread most of the way round
the UK. I recorded 49 knot gusts (60 mph) before I left on the Sunday
expecting summer to arrive in July.
After and during a short cruise of 192 nm that was finally made during
early August we still had high winds. It was 52 knots wind recorded but
fortunately we were safely in port at Lowestoft by then! Lowestoft Lifeboat Day Sea Exercise 6th

below - Easter Saturday 1700h A day of heavy snow
showers and winds from the north at 20 knots, gusting over 30 knots at
times. It was teatime before it was safe to proceed. The
reflection on the cloud is from a GPS for use in case of whiteout or nav
equipment failure being close to the Heathrow zone. Ferry flight from
Cranfield to Elstree in C150 G-BCCC for the annual maintenance review. Photo taken during
south bound transit of Luton Zone looking southwest near Tring. Flying to
avoid a large and gusty snow shower.
