Nahhh … I have my ‘money shot’ all planned now!
This is my entry for:
10. A Truck mounted Concrete pump✅️
- Erect and in use✅️ (after they asked me what I was doing and I placated them with my response, I asked if it was raised and pumping and they said yes!)
- Predominately red❌️
- A “Readymix” type rotating drum truck loading the concrete pump✅️

Shame about the colour!

Colin, unfortunately we dont appear to have a truck mounted concrete pump in your photo so we are unable to accept your entry. Heres a few examples of what we are looking for
The good news is you are free to submit another photo for this subject if you manage to find one
Is this any help?
Rats! There was one of them there, tucked up behind fence boarding. Went back to see it trundling off down the road Oh well, at least I know what your after now!
A word to the wise - read the subject list carefully and be sure you understand what we are looking for before you set out. This team of frankly over-lenient judges finishes their four days rotation tomorrow; the replacements’ whispered nickname in the bunker is “The bloody awkward squad …”
17. A Quarry, sand or gravel pit
- Still in use for original purpose
- Dragline excavator
-
Drone Scene entry
The south of the site is still used to some extent as a quarry, with the north as a processing plant for their other quarries as well.
Taken today with my AIr 2 as the wind was up a bit and it was raining.

Hi Ian, unfortunately we cant allow the DroneScene bonus for your ‘A Quarry, sand or gravel pit’ entry. There is already a DS marker added for the same subject just over 200m from your marker.

Had it shown up when adding I would have withdrawn - oh well.
You’re a long way from home for that one! Looks like they still use that dragline excavator as its moved!
Was up north.
I had another one, but your entry (indeed any entry) doesn’t show up when you go to add a location.
Would avoid duplicates if it did.
My bad for not checking the map as browsing.
Gotta love the whole good cop / bad cop vibe the @Committee have got going there
You mean @Challenges_Committee … not @Committee .
In my excitement I’ve made that mistake before
Yes, compared to us the GADC boys are pussy cats
Sorry, was hastily typed. Making grovelling apologetic exit.
Frustrating
Yes, I’ve done it too. I’m also wondering who the ‘over-lenient judges’ are that everyone’s talking about, sounds like another one of those urban myths to me.
We would advise all competitors that if you intend on claiming a DroneScene bonus for any subject, that you check the DroneScene map before travelling any kind of distance to acquire an image/video
