Hyde Park Winter Wonderland
Didn’t spend as long at Hyde Park as I had intended as it started raining after about an hour and the rain app indicated that it was set for the evening. A larger attraction and a lot more there than I thought there would be. Free to get in but a bit of queuing due to bag searches. I’ll be going back between Christmas and New Year with my wide, w i d e angle lens for a night shoot. In the order they were taken.

St Katherine Docks/Seven Dials
St Katherine Dock’s
Nothing spectacular but St Katherine Dock’s claim to have the only floating Christmas tree in London with it floating on a pontoon in the western basin.
Seven Dials, Covent Garden.
Seven Dials is a small road junction in Covent Garden where seven streets converge. The column at the center of the convergence only has six sundials at the top of it as it was commissioned and built before they added a seventh street. Their Christmas theme this year is forest animals and apart from the obvious ones in the decorations across the various streets, there are also supposed outlines of forest animals in lights in the tree branches around the centre. I didn’t make any out though.

Very, very quiet day at Duxford so some record shots in hangar 3 with Frankie back from winter servicing and the ARCo fleet having had a bit shuffle around around since my last visit. In the order they were taken.

The peace and tranquility of a quiet Saturday Bimble around Duxford was shattered when a Sikorsky HH-60G Pave Hawk/(89)26205 from RAF Lakenheath started doing circuits just after the museum opened with about 4 landings on the grass runway. It parked up on the jet pan and with the pilot on board and rotors running, the crew went off to the cafe for a coffee. Friendly crew as well, waving to the kids on the fence line when they arrived and handing out badges to them when they left. Just before lunch Piper PA-18-150 Super Cub/D-ESTS and Piper L-18C-95 Super Cub/OO-SPG flew in from the continent via Calais and stayed til mid afternoon. In the order they were taken
