Flying By

Having fun over RAF Benson - for RAF Benson Family Day

Didn’t realise that RAF Benson Family Day was today until the acrobatics started.
We had quiet a good view from across the river.
Was a tad worried when the Chinook decided to just hang vertically, but the Tornado at
---censored-- metres literally shook us back to our senses.

Looked like the base put on an excellent show.

Harvest

Anyone for carrots?

H with some of the carrots we grew this year.


Not half bad once I’d figured out what wasn’t weeds. Apparently stuff growing in straight lines is the clue… you did plant them in straight lines didn’t you?
