Established in 1926 in the sleepy little village of Gedney Drove End, RAF Holbeach is a practice gunnery and bombing range. For those of us that live in the area close to, its a constant source of NOISE.
For sure you can see your fair share of fighter planes and gun ships but the majority of the time you just hear the jet engines and the thud thud of distant helicopters and this can go on for hours!
Drones are a bit of a novelty. A very expensive novelty too.
I like them, no doubt about it, they're cool but......
Things are no longer off limits, well apart from airports (for most people apart from those near missers), places are now in reach that were never in reach before. Views and angles previously only available to people with light aircraft are now achievable to every member of joe public.
A cold and windy Sunday in October, i loaded up my bike on the back of my car and drove to the marsh and then got my, head wind, pedal on to the waters edge.
Fly safe!
My personal blog documenting my fun with photography. Film, Urbex, Travel, Street, My life. I'm a self confessed camera geek and this is how I let off my steam between my work as a professional photographer.
