Re: Today in pictures
It could be either Sue, it's two years since I took the photos,
The Lancaster is usually accompanied by both. It's hard to really tell from my photo. I tried to book two nights at the Premier Inn right next to the place where the air show is for the Friday and Saturday. They were booked up weeks ago and nearly doubled the price of a room to £140 a night during the show. It looks like I shall have to brave the horrific traffic jams which we saw from the hotel last time. |

Well it had got to one PM and I was still sitting around thinking what to do.
"Get off your backside lad" I said to myself "and have a ride round and take some photos". That's what I did, up to Crown Point and over the hill until I found a suitable place to park. No 1. Looking back to the turbines above Hapton Inn, N0 2. Burnley from a distance (safest way) No 3. Wild and rugged moorland. N0 4. The road down through Dearplay. No 5. A lonely farmhouse. No 6. Radio masts on Hambledon Hill. No 7. Windfarm above Edenfield. No 8. Windfarm above Oswaldtwistle. I may have those two the wrong way around. I then got fed up of sitting with the car window open taken photos so I spent some time browsing Accy Web in the car. |

Taken last year (also from the Southport show) RAF Woodvale hosting the warbirds "Lanc", "Mustang" & "Spitty", the last one is a replica of the Spitty sponsored by Lytham St.Annes, raised as a memorial late 2011, early 2012. :) |

I will be helping out at the Accrington Blind Society today so no time for taking photos.
DaveinGermany, I have posted some photos I took a couple of years ago, seeing as like me, you are interested in planes. I took them at the Yorkshire Air Museum, Elvington, two minutes off the A64 York bypass, No 7 The driver and mate's seat in a Dakota. No.8 Imagine sitting up there for eight hours during a night time tour of Berlin. |

Today in Pictures, a taxi job to the Pals Centre kept me local, so a full circle around Platts Lodge was all I could manage.
1. Rear view of a factory located on the "factory Bottoms" Nuttall Street). 2. Peacock Butterfly. 3. The smaller overflow pond. 4. Caterpillar of the Cinnabar Moth on Ragwort. 5.Woodnook Water as it passes the lodge. 6. One of the old pillars that carried the railway through to Woodnook Vale. 7. A not often walked bit of the lodge. 8. There are not many tall chimneys left, and two of them are within the vicinity of the lodge. 9. Almost full circle. 10. The sluice gates(if thats the right word) that once used to divert Woodnook Water into Platts lodge, not been used in donkeys years. |
