Wow, only posted for a bit of fun
so thanks for your interest.
Well I should be at Thruxton right now, that's the last time I buy an advanced ticket, waste of £22......had a bit of a rough night, still I get to see the GP and I'm watching BTC on the box.
To make the chopper even lower I can tell you that the roof tops belong to bungalows.
To fill you in with more information, this chopper and crew ( I think from
H M S Heron Royal Naval Air Station, Yeovilton, Yeovil, ) had been on a recruiting exercise at the local comp.
Behind the bungalows are the school playing fields, this was just after take off and thats why the crew are waving in the doorway
I am across the road from this, standing in my garden, I heard the chopper start, ran in and grabbed the
I had the 70-200 fitted and I have downloaded the orig to get the cam information. I did think this might of been the police/air ambulance. Quite surprised to see this.

.size 4288 x 2432
Device Nikon D300 focal length 120mm @ F8 1/800s multi pattern meter mode.
I re sized to 800 with PS and then done a quick sharpen, up-loaded to flickr and then to here. This is as original as it gets.
This is the untouched orig, downsized to 800
Yes it was very loud and I'm glad I was around to get it.
