Probably Magic

Heading East

This place was heading east early one morning [probably to Frankfurt] and the colour of the sky and the line of the contrails caught my eye. It looked lovely.

Then there was this Chinook. It passed right over my work place and was such a lovely sight and sound. It amazes me just how technologically amazing we are as a species. Now although I know how these things work it does seem like magic at times!

Finally, yesterday this Spitfire flew over my village. I keep trying to remind people that one day they will be gone and we won’t see them flying anymore. It’s a lesson I have learnt from seeing many planes in the 80s at various airshows without really appreciating just how special they all were.

Remember

Took a trip to Capel-Le-Ferne today to visit the Battle Of Britain Memorial on the cliff top. It’s a sombre place and should make people remember the death and destruction that war causes.

There are two mock up fighters at the site too. I’ve got the hurricane pictured below:

Also, the view of Folkestone is pretty good too.

In the distance you can just make out Dungerness nuclear power station!

I said goodbye to part of my form group today. It was Leavers’ Day at MGS. Here’s a picture of the cookie-cake they bought for us to share.
