Advanced Notice of Alpha Spotting Opportunities in the UK
Posted: Sat Mar 26, 2011 10:08 am
Hi there everyone,
Between the 21st and around the 25th of next month I'm going to France with my wife and from there to the UK where we will be until the 7th of May. We're staying in Hemel Hempstead or thereabouts, she because she wants to see her cricketing mates in the UK and me because I want to make photographs (hopefully of something more interesting than her cricketing mates!!).
So, the pretext for this is to provide advance notice that there will be a fair number of opportunities for spotting an A900 and an A200 purchased in Boston and operated mostly in Australia around those times.
The REAL purpose of the post is to seek the advice of the native British members of the group about appropriate things to point both cameras at while I'm there so I don't have to talk cricket!!
All ideas, suggestions, tips etc are welcome as are any suggestions that might involve some coordinated activity including UK and Australian Alphas (which may also include a beer). The only things we have planned at the moment is dawn hot air ballooning somewhere in the vicinity of Hemel Hempstead and the obligatory trip to London. Oh, and to get back to the subject of beer, it's my wife's birthday on the 29th of April and the original intention was to spend it doing the monopoly pub crawl but some cheeky bloody prince or other decided to get married in London on the same day and, although we've tried calling him to get him to change the date on the basis that we planned the day first, he has refused to do so - so, as an alternative, there will be a few drinks at the Paper Mill Pub in Hemel Hempstead on the 29th to which anyone who is interested is invited!!
