This is why you shouldn't live next to a small airstrip

Recommended Posts

OK, as I was exploring the neighbourhood for my last set, I had a thought . . .

(I only did this because I'd heard that the owner of the place with the tarpaulin on the roof was chairman of the local noise abatement society)

Let me guess, he moved there AFTER the airfield was established... :dry:

Love the low flying Pitts - I guess one would only get away with doing that approach just once in real life... It'd make the news.. Well I hope it would to give us a change from normality! :cool:

A bit short on lawn mowers in your neck of the woods eh?

On reflection that post seemed a bit mean. You've captured some pretty neat shots. Well done. .👍 I just let my World famous sense of humour get the better of me. Apologies.

EDIT: But a lawn mower franchise would clean up! 🙂

No worries Ron, I wasn't entirely sure what you were on about anyway <grin>, would have made more sense if I'd been choppering. And I like your sense of humour, we Meldrews should stick together.

The first shot definitely got my attention.

Cheers John, keep your eyes peeled, I might try this again in the Mriya.

Actually Mark, I didn't even get away with it once. I tend to use "active pause" for some of these shots and the problem is that when you come out of that momentum seems to have built up and you don't necessarily carry on in the same direction you had planned. And at this height . . .

Imagine the fun if this game was blended into MSFS!

Well, it does seem like some of the grass has gotten a little out of hand, but I don't think the guy in that game would do much good, from the look of it!

That's why you need the ultimate in lawn mowing simulation!

Crazy detail, and very cool shots. But, yeah, they need to get their strimmers out in this neighbourhood..
