RTF Competition - VICTORIAN ENGINEERING - Winners announced!

My entry:

Bedworth water tower.

Taken today (04/12/2021 10:30am) with my OG Mavic Mini and edited with snapseed.

Built in 1898, this Victorian landmark is located in my home town. My late grandad actually got arrested when he was a young boy and received a summons for breaking the window of this water tower with his home made catapult. (I still own said catapult, as he left it to me in his will :rofl:)

For reference here is the link to the info on the tower itself:

This water tower, well the courtyard of the tower that is has been converted into houses and the whole area is still locked off behind big black iron gates that are now remote controlled by a key fob given to residents of the complex. A friend of mine who I met at school used to live in the converted gatehouse of the complex when we were at school.

The water tower itself holds a deep spot in my heart due to the reasons mentioned above. I’ve been meaning to fly here ever since the new rules of sub 250g came into effect. So thanks @Challenges_Committee for giving a reason to get my arse out and fly this location :ok_hand:t2:

For anyone who’s interested :+1:t2:
