RAF Shawbury - helicopters and stored airframes

[^^Gord^^]

Being about 18 months since my last visit to RAF Shawbury I decided to open my photography for 2010 with a visit.

Most people go to shoot the aircraft in storage. I go to shoot the helicopters! I could happily sit on the ramp and shoot them all day.

A couple photos with more and a bit of text on my site....

I really like them mate. Wish Chivenor was still RAF, but now there's nowhere particularly close to me to get those kinds of shots.

Nice pics.

Just a heads up, some images arn't loading on your site and the text is moving out of its frames. (This is on Safari 4.0.3)

Works fine on Firefox tho, maybe a few tweaks to it are needed?

Dumb question but how far are you allowed in? I'm not a million miles from there so quite fancy a mooch up with the camera.

Thanks, I guess RNAS Yeovilton would be closest place for you. Plenty of helos there!

Interesting, I've not tested it on Safari expect from my iPhone. Should work fine on IE / Firefox although they don't render it the same. Will check the percentage of Safri users, might not be worth the effort testing it against that as well.

Shawbury do organised tours (its the exception to the rule!) so you get pretty close!
