QRA MARGATE BEACH CROSS 2011

2011-03-15T11:42:00.001Z

Well the weather held out over the weekend for this event.

As always this is a great event and always worth going to when it's local.

My only grimace is the track preparation on sunday, the sand seemed to soft around and on the jumps. And slot of riders seemed to struggle.

Although this made for good entertainment. But frustrating as it impacted the races.

Here are a few photos from Sunday. More to follow

Reflection on Biggin Hill 2010

2010-06-28T11:11:00.000+01:00

Well it's Monday. And I'm back to work as normal.

I keep reflecting on the events of the weekend at Biggin Hill. It was a great weekend. Yes I went Saturday and Sunday.

The Battle of Briton 70th anniversary displays were great to see. But also very humbling when you think of all the young men and women that lost their life's and to all those who risked theirs for their country. I truly salute you all for your braveness and courage.

Seeing the big Lancaster bomber was a dream come true for me. I am so in love with her and have been since a little child. Partly due to watching the Dambusters so many times.

And I was also very glade to see old Sally B (B17) up in the air. Both these huge bombers looks so majestic in flight. Like big gliders. Was a beautiful site to see.

So a big thank you to all who organised Biggin Hill International Air Fair 2010. It was a great show. And a special thanks to all the planes and pilots who displayed. It was truly excellent.

Biggin Hill International Air Fair 2010

2010-06-26T21:45:00.000+01:00

Well I spent the whole day at the first day of this years Biggin hill air show. And a great show it was. 1 of my highlights was to see the majestic Lancaster Bomber in flight. Great stuff. The RAF Falcons put on a good display and gave me a free Cap so that was cool. I like freebies.

The Harrier jumpjet was awsome to see hovering an reversing etc. An also seeing the typhoon again. What a noise!!! So loud it hurts your chest.

I'm downloading today's photos at the mo. But as I am back to Biggin Hill tomorrow for the final day I will have yet more photos to go through. Although not as many as today as tomorrow is ment to be a family visit to the show but will have camera on my should just in case. Lol

Well I've not been about much. On the 5th October I managed to break my middle finger at work.

Which ment having my finger strapped up for 9 weeks.

The good news is it's no longer strapped and the doc says I'm very lucky as I appear to have full movement of the finger although at the moment it's still stiff and sore.

But with this I haven't really be upto doing much latly.

I managed to dust the camera off once and setup to take some wildlife shots and was quite happy as I was able to spend the time photographing a greater spotted woodpecker.

Well I hope to be back out with the camera between Xmas and the new year.
