Which reminds me. We were sitting ovelooking the garden, one day last
week, when SWMBO, who isn't noted for such observations, said "there's a
helicopter but it sounds like a light aircraft". She thought it was a
chopper because of the horizontal bit above it. The horizontal bit above
the plane was the aircraft. The bl...dy big bit below, was the floats.
It was a floatplane, tracking across from NI to Northern England. We don't
get many of them oop 'ere. I recall seeing one taking off from
Ronaldsway, a couple of years ago. Looked grotesque.
BTW, good shot.
