The Grey Arrows 2nd Annual Birthday Competition

#10 Clocktower showing 7pm. St Martin’s Church, Ashton-on-Mersey, which is an interesting and historic church. Flown from the churchyard, with permission. Reportedly, the weathervane on top still bears the marks of bullets fired by Buffalo Bill when he visited the area promoting his show. I got some close-ups which certainly do show dents which look like bullet impacts.

7 Steam Train:

Sorry @sunstone but after discussing this with my fellow committee members we are unable to accept that link for the bonus point as the link is to a wiki-media photo page as opposed to a full wiki-pedia page that tells us everything there is to know about the item in question.

Sorry :confused:

Agricultural field, Harvesting peas for Birds Eye.
Taken 15/7 Welwick, East Yorkshire.

They were tasty. Must have had quite a few pods while waiting for them to reach this end of the field.

Great photo @Rezzmo!

How did you get to be there mate?

And only two viners, rather than their usual three?

He went for a pea! :wink:
