Great shots.   Impressive flying.  I need to practice flying backwards more often.

Thanks DowntownRDB.   I was about a mile out over the Thames, flying backwards when someone phoned me.   It was heart stopping.

That's quite the selection!

Nice shots btw!

Just trying out my new designation.

Yes. I need to shoot video but this year has started in lockdown and they've started stopping people and checking on them.  The place where I went to photo the seals I read today had the police stopping every vehicle arriving at the carpark and fining them £200.

Captain of a ship? no. Captain in the forum: been for a few months...

Indeed. I read about it.
Not too nice!

That’s what I thought. So what’s the new designation?

No a real pain. And the people partying seem to get away with it still.

The good suffer from the evil
They are talking about a curfew here too.
That would be WWII scenario's.

"Boat head". Didn't you ask what to call the petrol heads of boats. Anyway, nice shots.

Ah OK,   I understand now.  Although shouldn't that be more diesel head,  but then you know what the head of the ship is?

I guess we are under curfew already,  unless you insist on exercising at night.

My daily exercise won't be possible if they go this way, since that is an evening walk.....

From what Ive seen here the curfew if they did it would start at 8pm like NI.

20:00 is talked about indeed.
Really hope it won't go that far.

I see this morning that the UK Siren study (Sarscov2 Immunity & REinfection EvaluatioN) has found that if you have been vaccinated you can still catch and pass on the disease which may have a large impact on the restrictions we'll be under for some time to come.

I really wonder why people seem believe vaccination is making a big difference on the spread of the virus.

There is no immunity against these viruses.
You train your system to detect it more quickly and get less ill because of this.
(which is very important, since you probably won't end up in the hospital)

You're very welcome.  Getting phone calls while flying can be problematic.  I use a Galaxy Tab S6 now with my RC and put my phone on silent.  Once I put it on vibrate vice silent and it startled me when my phone started vibrating.  So now as a part of my pre-flight I always check to ensure phone is on silent.
