Passing my front door in Dawlish,

Brilliant shots!
The Merlins and Chinook also passed my house in Broadsands (Churston) which is a common occurrence and like you, I either look down upon or across at them.
It follows that I always enjoy your excellent high quality submissions so thanks for sharing them :thumbs:
Best regards, Terry
Be the reason someone smiles today 👍
