The Grey Arrows 2nd Annual Birthday Competition

Asterley Windmill (with Sails) - bit of a surprise!
So set off this morning to Asterley (W of Shrewsbury) to try and “capture” the Windmill there as its apparently the only Windmill in Shropshire with sails (all comments / alternates gratefully received). Found a place to leave the car (all single track lanes) and then found a place to safely launch. Took off to around 300’ to have a general recce, check light, possible angles etc. and grabbed a couple of taster shots so here’s my entry


Didnt manage to get anything more impressive as a police helicopter imitating Airwolf passed under me at a rate of knots (see bottom left of pic below not an entry to comp).

At which point I decided it was appropriate to RTH and pack up just in time for another to come over at similar altitude. NATS showed nothing (apart from beware of the Windmill) so all in all quite an eventful day! decided not to try and get any other pics :sweat_smile:
