Great shots!

In the fourth to last pic in the second set, was your camera upside down or is that helo flying inverted?

It's the Blue Eagles Lynx, it did some rolls, loops and back flips which is easier to do in the Army versions than the Navy ones. It certainly impressed us seeing it (group of RN Lynx guys) although the Red Bull Bo-105 was even more impressive doing all kinds of wacky stuff.

Good pics Chris, I didn't even take a camera as I figured there was no way I'd be able to get anything that good with the sort of crossing rates we'd be getting. Obviously I was then sat with a perfect view of exit of the cross-over bit at the southern end of the track!

:lol: Yes the Lynx is upside down, the sunny side is down if you look closely... Thanks for the comments...

I actually read the camera manual before leaving, and i decided to use both the A and S programmed modes and just play with the shutter setting on the S mode, worked a treat i think on some of them...
