Victory Show
Foxlands Farm, Cosby

| A wet Foxlands Farm and just an eveing shoot (ie no lights) was dissappointing, never-the-less some worth while images under the rain clouds was a little different. World War Two reenactors were featured to a greater extent than the aircraft with their many impressive sets. My involvement once again was to arrive after the day's activities had ended and attend the evening shoot organised by Threshold. |
