Good evening all,

Absolutely cracking set Dylan, thanks for sharing.
Can you say what happened in tail rotor area in image 11, if you know that is.

Nice set. Did you have to go far off piste for these or are they close to such roads as there are near the range?

Many thanks. A combination of the two. About half of the shots are taken close to the main road through the range, and the other are very much off the beaten track.

Nice set, the last Chinook is nice, but shot 13 is my winner, the two Apaches.

As i’ve told you numerous times now haha; these are absolutely outstanding mate! 13 is my pic, best photo of the ex i’ve seen. Also that last Chinook shot is a peach too!

Great work DL!
