Icelandic Coastguard DH8C at Aberdeen

Post by Jonay » Wed Jan 06, 2016 1:49 pm

A very miserable day yesterday, must've changed my mind about going to get this one about 8 times before I eventually went. I stayed in the car until the last minute to save me getting soaked. Best picture I got, a couple of crows decided to get between me and the plane and spoiled the rest :grr:

I tried to get a picture through the fence on the ramp, but it was too close and the fence is visible and spoils the picture too.

ohwell, I'm happy with this one!
