Happy Monday folks,

I hope everyone is good? had another early morning trip to Richmond Park on Saturday, not sure if you guys go or have been but it's gonna be well worth a visit (if you like animals) in a couple of weeks, some already impressive Stags strutting around and making some scary bloomin noises!

Nice shots, it's on my 'to do' list, but with only 105mm of zoom it'll be a while yet! :lol:

You're welcome to borrow my 100-400 if you'd like as well. Just let me know...

thanks Matt, you really don't need a really long lens, you can safely get very close - and I have a 70-200 f2.8 you're welcome to use if you decide to come along!

Hey Matt, we must have seen different forecasts, as I saw that we would just miss it....

The industrial mecca that is Pyestock NGTE, a truly enormous site, our objective to get a peek at test cells 3 & 4..........

The approach road to the cells..............the photos do not really get across the size of the pipes, but those blue ones must easily be 8-10ft diameter.

Looks like an awesome site, fancy a revisit not so early? Lol..

WTF is it?

Perhaps we could all drop down through the roof on ropes - as per James Bond.

Or maybe the Joker is lurking in there.

Or perhaps it's a chocolate factory and Willie Wonka is waiting.

Pyestock is where they tested gas and steam turbines and Rolls Royce jet engines, more famously known for the Concorde engines........the Y piece is the exhaust tube...
