RN Merlin at EGNT...

Postby F3Hadlow » Wed Mar 01, 2006 2:49 pm

Just thought you guys might like to see a couple of snaps I've taken (from my window!) of a RN Merlin that has been hanging around in the EGNT area over the last couple of days. First shot was today, second was yesterday, sorry about the quality but they were both through glass and quite far away (esp. the second one alongh with it's strange reflection effect!)...

Hope they were of some interest :)

It's just a optical effect of the reflection from the Merlin (I was shooting through glass as well so that magnifies it further) it certainly does look wierd!
Thank you as well :)

Although I do agree with Ozzy that the Merlin was made by Rolls Royce
