What an excellent set of photos.
Good resolution (do you have higher?) - we should be able to get them on the CHA website if you're happy with that?
Think it would be great to have some recent photos like that - a view not many can ever have had...

I'm trying to arrange a 2 seater flight (Cherokee) from Brize Norton over the school at some point soon - but I'm sure I won't get such good photos, or such greate weather...

Surely no member of staff who was still fully compos mentis would shop at T****s - I cannot even bring myself to type the word.
A simply revolting idea.

Being no.1 doesn't make it the best though!

Thanks Julian...
Higher resolution, - I have sorted out 24 frames @ 24 megs each will this do?

Send me a PM with your mailing address and I will send you a CD... please use them for the school as you wish.

Out of interest... this is the track we flew.
The wind direction turned through about 110 degrees as we climbed a few hundred feet which was good for viewing the school.
If anybody else is thinking of doing the same trip talk to Mike Scholes of http://www.chadballooning.co.uk based near Haywards Heath, West Sussex.
The balloon takes eight passengers... are there 7 other OB's of my era (middle ages of the last century)? I would do it again tomorrow.

'Going to pick blue-bells' has a distinctly romantic meaning in these here parts !

Incidently.... Hasn't JK got an extremely large nose ???

Mine is a bit straighter than that, otherwise....
Incidentally, I am not receiving these pictures (nice ones Howard, read PM) on my Firefox browser and thought it was the same for all until you mentioned my nose...
I switched to Micro$oft IE and get the pictures OK... I am still trying to figure out why this is.

The problem appears to be that Firefox does not like the 3 back slashes in each of the photograph location addresses.
Microsoft IE converts them to forward slashes and then reads them OK.
Anyone fix please?

I've changed them to / instead - hopefully that works?
