Some pics from Sunday's flight

Silverstone has a big hole in the middle ...



Stonehenge ... Personally, I was expecting something bigger ...



Just a few km from Stonehenge was the Bulford Kiwi ...



Although this picture below doesn't do it justice, we all agreed that the weather effects and frame rates have improved with SU 13.
With being on the West Europe Server, the skies were busy. That is Heathrow traffic in the background.

I'm tempted to say "That's the pits" but it might confuse some folk

I didn't see that hole in Silverstone, but my Stonehenge was a flat image too, not actually 3D like in your pic. My UK is all default.
