RN Merlin

[Woodlouse2002]

Well, you can't live 10 miles from RNAS Culdrose and ever expect the sky to be completely clear of helicopters. So I made the most of the midday sun and say out on the lawn in a deckchair, cat on lap and camera hanging off the back.

Sure enough ten minutes later I heard a familiar racket, looked around and saw...


"Excellent" I thought. "It's coming right this way."

Well, Hagar has pointed out the errors of my resizing and took the original of pic no3 to have a bash himself.

Now everybody say "Ooooooh!"

Very nice... goes to show that one can often just crop a big image down to 8x6 and save as JPEG with great results!
What's that chin pod thing? Radar?
