I know … I know… I was actually praying the last time I went out to one of Terry Pratchett small gods in the hope that they’d help out.

Omnichroma, the god of all colours?
@Stomper 4 points for Mission Impossible with a possible extra bonus if the colour is correct
We are sorry to have to agree with your assessment of the sail / sails phrasing, we are looking for a vessel with more than one sail raised.
Today was not a good day for wafis, at least where this judge lives, very little yacht fuel available. But at least your man is towing a dinghy

Watch out for the RTF (Reason To Fly) competition restarting in the next few days. It grew out of the third Challenge when a couple of us needed to further exercise the joystick fingers and the little grey cells!
And thank you for your kind comments
Better dust off my mini 2 charge it and start now…

No - wasn’t sure if I would get anything today
As it was most boats were launched via a red tractor.
As this is the first time I’ve entered this competition I didn’t know it was so competitive I think I’ve got to give up my full time job to concentrate on travelling all over the UK to find extra points.
I’ve jazzed this up to see if can get a bonus point lol……McDonald’s Rugby taken with a dji mini3 pro on the 26th Aug 2023 at 20:42.

Mini 3 Pro - 6.07am - Salisbury Cathedral
Had various emails back and forth with the press officer. No issues with me flying and taking photos, the big issue was with residential areas, the walls and tourists etc. But I had to get her to clarify that she was happy with me flying. This was a bit of a personal thing for me as one of my distant relatives worked on this roof and also other churches. So taking any photos was worth it.
Therefore if I was going to take the photo I would need to leave home around 4am and fly around 6am. This was all very last minute and she was on holiday - so I am grateful for her time.
The height of the spire is 123m so I set my max height to 140m and as you can see I was at 452 ft which is 137.8m - so just stayed compliant.
