Saw this randomly at Liverpool Airport a while ago

 

P1040218.jpg

 

I just arrived on my bike and stopped for a drink and heard some rotors spinning on a helicopter - it was there for ages and a minibus arrived and drove up to it

 

a bit later it moved off and only then could I see it was military

 

major problem getting a photo - the camera I had with me just wanted to set the focus on the wire fence!!!

That’s a Wildcat, a development of the Lynx helicopter. Saw one come over the park by my house a week or two back, cool to spot!

We get them and Merlin's flying low down the valley here. Chinooks are worse though - the whole house shakes!

Got to Astle Park Steam Engine Rally this year. Was absolutely great to get out and about to events again :)

 

My favourite steam engine that I see at most fairs here in North West England:

This was beautifully polished and maintained

We counted over 40 large steam engines in attendance!

Even the mini ones can break down!

I spent a weekend in the Solent sailing on a yacht similar to the Beneteau in the last pic. Fantastic weekend.

 

Back on topic ... Had a walk around our local park with the camera club on Tuesday. I'll dig out a few images when I get a mo.

My parents live under the flight path for the planes which were bombing Yugoslavia, now those were loud! Going even further back in time, Concorde would fly over the house every evening too, also pretty loud.

Try switching to landscape mode, or point focus

Walking home from the school run this morning and the sunrise over Preston was particularly appealing. Quick phone snap but it came out pretty well.

 

Deepdale in the background towards the left?

Yep. This was taken from the railway bridge on Cadley Causeway looking South East(ish) towards the city center.

 

My dad is from Preston so he bullied me into supporting Preston North End so been up many times from Kent to see family and to watch the football.

 

I know the view :)

In a similar vein, I snapped this pic as I left my flat one morning last month, you just reminded me of it! (it's not Preston though.)

Very poor soul. Although it confuses the students here when they see my mask with the logo on as they've never heard of Preston!

Your second image looks straight out of a zombie horror film. There's definitely something about to jump out and dismember you!
