Qinetiq Mi-17's (says Mi-8MVT on the door but it isn't) out of MoD Boscombe Down operating in confined areas (Woods) for 4hrs in appalling weather. Drizzle, mist, cold, dull, really did not make a good day for photography.

Did the best i could with a Canon 75-300mm USM III...

Took one of them 10mins to get into the last confined area, 5 feet gap either side of the rotors

Sorry, but in the "Share" areas IMAGE POSTING RULES (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=74718) only allow 2 attachments by the OP per thread, OR 8 embedded (linked) images, OR a combination of both totaling 8. (Maximum 1024 pixels on any side.) You can always just post a link to more, though, or better yet, post a link to a gallery so we don't have to click on each image link.
Some exceptions are group threads, like "Show Me...", "Post your best...", equipment reviews, Tutorials, etc.

Sorry Photosguy,
i did the same a few weeks ago and you let them go? So i thought it was allowed to make the 8 images per post, and reply with another 8 images but obviously not :)

I believe its something to do with us English getting to know how to use one as such, for the likes of Afghan etc, which is why there in the test bed colour scheme.
