Tugger Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 No don't be too angry, I wasn't there myself, my mate Sparks is a snapper and was there as a bit of a scoop really. He has more reason to be narked as he missed the chance for a fly by about 5 mins. When I told Mrs Tugger, she said she saw it fly overhead and wondered what it was. Big low and loud were her words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M5Clive Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Picture numbers 6 and 8 show a true photographer hard at work - Notice the slumped over look, legs spread wide for firm rigidity and fleece lined flying boots worn to protect against possible snake bites! That's Bill Kemball stood alongside me - he owns the airfield at Bentwaters. Some great pictures there Tugger - How many places can you get that close to an aircraft thundering down the runway towards you, and almost have the wing-tip pass over your head! I had my 300 mm lense on for the pictures I was taking, which is ok when its far enough away - but as it gets closer you can only get the pilots teeth in the shot! I love photo number 5 - It gives a great perspective how low Don Brooks flew the Belle and what a thrill it was for the on lookers and those aboard.

Tugger Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Simon the photographer (you might have seen him, big feller, short hair pictured here)... ...gave me a copy of his pics, well over 100 all told and I would agree that pic 5 has to be my favourite as well. Simon recounted how amazing it was to get right up close during taxiing, imagine if HSE had got wind prior to the arrival:nono: :-D I don't know Bill so well but I know the Kemble daughters and John better.
