A Walk Through Hatfield Forest

The early autumnal weather this year has been beautiful and today was no exception. Recently I have been exploring all the back paths and out of the way places in Hatfield Forest, my local wood. Today I took out my Canon G9 camera. I carry this camera with me for emergencies when I do not have my pro cameras with me. The results on this little camera are more than satisfactory, it has a raw selection but apart from that it is really a basic budget camera. These are the results.

If this was an aircraft it would be marked, unserviceable and unfit to fly :)

Forest Walk

A few shots from my last visit to Hatfield Forest last Saturday. As a pilot I am amazed at the extreme damage that butterflies can sustain and still fly. Great chunks missing out of their wings without any visible effect.

Duxford Reopens

The first of August Duxford reopened. As a member all I had to do was pre-book my ticket and then when I arrived, a quick barcode scan and I was in. I only wanted to stay outside and watch the flying.

Unfortunately, the Hurricane did not fly, the magnetos were giving trouble, so back to the hanger.
