The photo was taken by Tamsin in the office next door she was on the airfield doing some advert shoots and I told her it was on the way so we tracked it with the SBS-3 and she shot it as it went straight over us.Canon 600 with a big white lens on the front.

Be grateful you weren't using a Radarbox, you'd still be there at midnight!

Praise the Lord for the SBS! (to be said in the voice of Precious from the coffee shop in Come Fly With Me).


Is the database capable (updated enough) to show BA 787's?

[mickeyc]

Yes, beautiful crisp snap of a beautifully shaped plane!

Love the slight Caravelle look of the front of 'em.
