Some form of helicopter just gone over very low and slow - but too dark to see what it was.

Well, I am certain there's someone on
this "Forum" who has something which
is gathering dust that they'd be more than
happy to give to Hony so she can be back
on here with us where she belongs!

Doesn't have to be fancy, just functional......

Can this get done???????????

The facsimile Chinook heading south on the A1.
With girls, initiating the conversation is half the battle!

The other half is STOPPING them TALKING!

2 x Chinook followed 5 mins later by a singleton heading [in a crab wise fashion] SW.

There have been 2 X C-5 aircraft doing touch
and goes here in Bangor all day!

They've gone directly over my house several
times....

One of my neighbo(u)rs didn't like this at ALL(!)

"What If It CRASHES????????????"

One never knows what to say to such a person.......

I have loaned my hardly-used camera
to my sister. She plans to purchase her
own and return mine fairly soon.......

Even so, I don't seem to be much of a
shutterbug/vid shooter......
