Well it made sense to me but then maybe you had to read between the lines a little bit.

I suspect that Ollie meant that he was taking pictures (shooting) of aircraft (them) as they came over the hedge (which was just past the static Merlin engines). I may be wrong however and perhaps he could have taken on the role of sniper, in which case those who poke fun better watch out this season, there may be a long list :p 😉

I did mean that. Thank you Chris.
