Re: It's big and beautiful...
Okay....I exaggerated a bit for effect. It was taken from the old summerhouse we maintain at the eastern end of the Estate......
The view from the Castle walls was a little better, but the staff were slow in getting the horses hitched to the carriage to take me up there in time..... Oh, and it's the A380. And boy, is it BIG!! |

Re: It's big and beautiful...
Well, that photo must be at least ten years' old, as the Nimrod is flying over the harbour in Hong Kong. Photo taken from somewhere in Causeway Bay, I think.
If the RAF tried that these days, they would get shot down!

But you got the location.....low pass over Victoria Harbour this morning (twice). Amazingly, whilst it could be seen alright, it is incredibly quiet and could hardly be heard. *Note to Hong Kong AA gunners: Nimrods are the ones with engines in the wing roots!

When I read the title, I feared that Ol Boc had dropped his pants in front of an apprciative audience!
