Magic Mallory!

What a great day.
Yesterday was my last visit to Mallory Park for the foreseeable future and it was a visit to remember. The last race that I saw before leaving was a cracker and it was won by Dane Oliver (bike 32) from Revolution Racing! It was a special moment to see a bike carrying the artwork for my website win my last race at the Park.
Thanks guys, it has been a blast working with you all.
The shocks began as soon as I arrived - the sun was shining! Surely this could not last? But it did. The racing was excellent and I got some great photographs. Hell I even had a beer!

Not quite sure when the next update will be to the blog as I have some very busy and enjoyable times ahead in the next few weeks.

Rainy RIAT!

Sunday July 19th found me visiting the Royal International Air Tattoo at Fairford in Gloucestershire with my good friend John Hall. It has to be said that the only thing that was fair all day was the name of the venue! The weather, like a true British summer, was dreadful with strong winds and plenty of rain. The flying as always was top drawer and made up for the leaden skies. Highlights were the excellent Italian Frecce Tricolori and finally seeing the Avro Vulcan fly. It may have been from the dry sanctuary of the car where I viewed from, but it was still an incredible sight to see this mighty plane airborne again. After the disasterous rain-outs on both days at last years event, the organisers sorted their act out with car parking on tarmac and it made a great difference, it even alleviated the traditional RIAT traffic jams. Sadly the weather was too much and we did not get to see the Red Arrows display. It is so annoying that planning a day out in a British summer means having to don waterproofs all the time! Even more galling was hearing reports of visitors to the event on the Saturday coming away with sunburn...

This coming weekend finds me at Mallory Park for my last outing with Team Revolution before I take some time out for some major changes to the photographic career - stay tuned all will be revealed!
