Civilian Aviation

I went flying with a friend on Monday firstly to get some aerial photos of the autumn colours at the nature reserve where I volunteer (Phyllis Currie, Great Leighs,Essex ) and then we flew to Old Warden for a bit of lunch and had a look in the engineering workshop and a couple of the other hangars. After the nature reserve photos me met up with another resident from Rayne, G-CEXM for the flight to Old Warden and I took a few air to air pics. Here's one for a start
