Took this shot of the memorial quickly this evening, came out better than I'd hoped.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,

We will remember them.




All the best,
Paul

Geez Louise, Paul - That's gorgeous!

BTW, are the buildings in the background near where Hanger #2 was?

An excellent candidate for the home page. Although I think I may have to do a little creative cropping. Very nice, Paul. I would never have thought England had sunsets but for this. 😉

(If you don't want the pic on the main page, let me know.)

Ta all.

Ed, I'll e-mail you the original to do with as you wish.

Win, the buildings are the flying club hangars, built on the pan dispersals immediately to the south of Hangar 2.
(I've only just noticed I'd managed to get their red windsock aligned between the flagpoles too.)

All the best,
Paul

The photo is now officially part of the site. All you have to do to see it is to get lucky on the main page. 🙂

Now, on to other mischief.

Paul, thanks for the (literally) 'background' info and...
the absolutely glorious photo.
A quick snap? It looks like you'd have had to check charts and timetables and even then, sit and wait (endkessly) for the moment...to 'snap'. A truly remarkable photo.

Seriously, it was a case of "right time, right place".

I was delayed leaving the base as I was waiting at the northern end of the main runway to get this photo:



TTFN,

Nice picture, Paul. I am happy to see that Ed has already added it to the home page mix...
