    Thanks for sharing your photos & video footage guys, it looks like you all had a thoroughly enjoyable day.

    Some seriously stunning photos there, I especially like the sunset/silhouette shots and even some of the others LOL!!!

    It was a good day . Hard work with the clouds and sun in the morning when seemingly hopeful gaps in the clouds just closed up . Having the radio's and making the call was a challenge

    The guy's at Butterley did us proud on the day and deserve a tremendous amount of credit . Exhaust to order , some great runpasts for both video and stills and nothing was too much trouble .

    The rebuilt station at Swanwick is an absolute gem and it would be great to see the footbridge completed . A lot of potential can be seen

    At least the weather played ball in the end the results speak for themselves!

    I wouldn't mind doing a few charters myself next year, but I have no idea how you get on the guest list!
