The main reason for the visit, hadn't seen an "SP" in over 25 years...

good job you weren't there in the afternoon, we had amazing thunderstorm and torrential rain at Rayne which came from Stansted direction.

nice pics Dan and I saw the SP was going out - was tempted but had lots to do.

did you get the lens sorted?

Thanks Andy...

I was there until just after the SP left - so about midday, and then headed down to Northolt for the Evening Shoot...

The lens was for something longer for the boy to use if he decides to come along to Shuttlworth - he's still not sure that he wants to get up at 7 and come out for the day with his Dad... (the life of a teenager eh!!) so he can use the 70-200 if he does!!
