XH558 At RIAT 2009 (Sunday)

Postby 350wedge » Mon Sep 28, 2009 11:33 pm

To start off my quota of photo's for XH558 i thought i'd post up just a couple of shots from the Sunday at RIAT.

The second one saw me get totally soaked but was well worth it, and to me is one of my best shots of the year.

Enjoy

Blimey woman, you have enough trouble wearing your own waterproof trousers, how did you cope with ones with NORMAL LENGTH legs? :-o =)) :p
