Fantastic log Andy, unfortuantely I couldn't make it this week. Was toying with the idea of going tomorrow looking at the weather forecast, but I'm not sure how busy it'll be.

Hopefully be able to get over next year. Looking forward to the images!

I'm going through the pics, when I get a moment I'll try to add arrival times if it will help anyone

Excellent log Andy- puts Aintree in the shade- will have to bear that in mind next year. Where exactly is the Helipad in relation to the racecourse?

Happy Days

it's about 1 mile east of the racecourse at Lower Farm. It is only used for the Royal ascot week the rest of theyear the helicopters land on the racecourse itself.
