Thanks for looking gents.
Not sure what the RAF was doing here, the lads thought they saw soldiers boarding. Its arrival worked in with a herc and a 757 (ours) may not be related, someone will know.
I think it arrived here from Brunei.
Thanks again.

Nice and crisp, just looks like a normal winter's day to me:) Looks like the ideal time of the year to take some tele shots, without the heat shimmer stuffing it up...

Well, I seem to recall that it does, that's the beginning of the Alps in the background, which are definitely snow-covered in the sim during winter. However they are a long way away from Christchurch, so you need a very long lens to see them like that! I would think that the foothills in these shots are 50 -- 60 kms away.

After our disappointingly few of days of glorious heatwave a few weeks ago, nothing depresses me more than seeing snow and ice as a reminder of what we are about to experience/suffer again, in a couple of month's time!
I need to hibernate in the Winter.

It's Autumn now!

All my Sim Flights are always carried out in Mid-Summer, Mid-Day, in brilliant sunshine, wearing the customary All-American Shades!

Paul..... :wink2: ....!
