OK So I'm really sorry about the failure to capture the front of the procession with my GoPro camera. Though I have captured other parts of it. One of the issues was trying to preserve battery power as it ran out quicker than I thought, one of those factors is because I saw Nick doing truly amazing stunts with his radio controlled helicopter from the football pitch as we were packing up and getting ready for the procession.

Anyhows, had no idea if it would work (or whether my expensive camera would fall from a great height) but lets give it a go. The wavy image is compensation from the vibration of the copters motors etc. And it was just a guess for set up.... but in a very short time, it seemed to work....

very good, made me nearly feel dizzy with some of the flying

We were dizzy watching him fly it before I fixed the camera. He is amazing how he controlled it! Up side down, loop the loop etc. very impressive indeed!

I agree, very impressive.





I'm ready for my close up now, Mr DeMille.........................

Brilliant, i think you both now will be contacted by the M.O.D for drone work! good to see another good turnout.

 

I have never seen anyone fly a Helicopter upside down quite like that before 

Awesome footage though 

an excellent job from team Nick and Andrew, only flying for1 year that is impressive.

Brilliant

Pretty damned good. Shame some of us had packed up

(I still need more practice setting up the steady cam!)

Thanks to Flags for organising such an enjoyable weekend, thanks to Chris Barker for use of his buggy and thanks to everyone who helped fix my van to allow to to drive home. Also thanks to everyone who made Hayley feel part of the weekend

Right then.... you want more videos? Ok this is the highlights one for now.

Like I said, am really sorry (and very gutted) that I didn't have the front facing camera working for the parade   Hopefully Hunter might have captured some of that instead?

Anyway, its a very rough edit, so you can certainly see the joins and I haven't bothered with fixing the audio so its just as it was recorded. And I haven't bothered matching the video colours to blend in either.

I will try to collate all the video and photos (from others too if they are happy) and I might try to do a Dvd at the end of the year with the complete highlights of Swanage as well as N.E.W.S. Beachbuggin, Ace cafe, SDBC picnic cruise etc.

One little bit of a treat at the very very end for Gary M and Dave Dream.
