International Rescue

Some junk I found near where I live amongst other junk littered everywhere; but I did manage to get this which is almost identical to one I've seen in the Lightning Enthusiasts Club Webpage.

Is a tighter crop required on the rotor above?

Steve - I know you're asking a specific question about another image in the series, but I just want to note this one. The tones, the lines, the mood of it, are all so good.

Two chaps were working on it and left the door open Cheers Donald.

I like it too. Top center looks like a robot wearing a quilted jacket.

Just imagine sitting in that thing one hundred feet above a swirling sea. cheers Henry. I have never been in a helicopter by the way, I refused 22 sqdn's offer of a ride in one when I was an Air Cadet. They just don't look safe.

I love the shot of the English Electric Lightening. A great British classic and a classic shot.

If any one is interested - a very readable and interesting book about RAF mountain rescue is Whensoever by Frank Card ISBN 0948153237. Out of print now but canbe found on Amazon

Cheers Steve; I knew I was going to have problems when I got here, the aircraft are too tightly packed with too much junk left around. It would suit somebody with a decent long lens though.

I've seen exactly the same image on the web, but with the left hand steps missing. I could have done more photo's but I at least like one to be a bit different; the Vulcan wings for instance would look great distorted but too much junk was piled under it.

Never mind I am now saving up for a 70-200mm f4L
