Seafire 47- Caption competition?

Hedgehog!! (and I don’t just mean the bloke on the floor)

Seafire pilot – ‘Damn photographers, i’ll get him on the next run!’

Typical of my “Big Brov ” lying down on the job again!! Now the question is was he lying down taking a photo upwards, or did he fall out taking a shot downwards?
Cannot wait to see the rest of your pic’s on your return bro.

Hi Nige,

Good to see I finally got you on the forum!!!!!! I’ll try less extreme measures next time. 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

It was truly a great time. But you know me, always asleep at the wrong time!!!!!!!!

look forward to showing the video and photos when we get back next weekend.

I feel an overwhelming need to make the following observation;
LaurieB shows some sense in lying down on the job but “Mike” our photographer would appear to be standing up to take this shot. Now, even allowing for telephoto lenses and the “compression effect,” I reckon “Mike” has been extra brave! A great photo.

Will LaurieB show this photo to his nearest and dearest to show how committed to the Spitfire/Seafire he is, or does she already know!

Chris,

The answer is yes, all the family have seen it!!

Got back to Chicago last night after 3 absolutely fantastic days at Crystal Lakes. Jim Smith is one of nature’s true gentlemen and a marvellous host. I can’t thank him and everyone else at Crystal Lakes for making my visit an really memorable experience. It is one trip that I will never forget.

I had originally been kneeling on the centre-line taking video. Through the view-finder Jim appeared much lower and I decided I could get a regular haircut later and ducked out left. Mike, being somewhat braver, stayed and got a fantastic shot.

“Oh blast it – the lens cap !!”

“Lord, when I said I dont want to live and asked you to send the most powerful vehicle to run over me… I didn’t expect a Spitfire…”

Pilot:
“Look …that’s the lowest I’m going….you’ll have to change from a wide angle lens if you want close ups….”

Typical – just having a 5 minute snooze and I miss the Seafire flypast!

Crikey!!

Yes, the Mk.2 balls-retraction system seems to work ok.

Mr. De Cadenet was reported to be very pleased with his stunt double for the forthcoming Seafire documentary.

Off topic but..

“This should give Mark12 an excuse for another Spitfire thread!” 😉

…shall we have a poll on that? 🙂

man shaped drop tank proves succesful

“Close encounter of the Seafire kind”

The big question is though: when did the photographer duck?

NO NO NO,,,,,,, I SAID TRIUMPH SPITFIRE !!!!!!!!!

The lengths some modelers will go to ,to get the arrester hook detail!
‘I’ll prove to the lads that I copped this reg.!’
Swampy went to even more extreme lengths to stop the runway extension .
