Late yesterday we took a call from one of our clients. They wanted us to take some aerial footage aircraft to aircraft today. As to be expected in the UK the weather conspired against us. Here on the South Coast it was lovely and sunny. But one of the aircraft was in the Midlands and was grounded due to fog!

Just like in the WWII movies of fighter pilots we had the camera operator on standby, sitting waiting for the phone call to 'action stations'. All ready to grab his kit and dash to the local airport and get airborne. Every time the phone rang he got 'twichy' wondering if it was the call. He spent a lot of the morning checking and rechecking the camera and kit and working out shooting angles and scenarios. This brief is a challenge as the client wants video and stills. We are unsure just how much space will exist on the aircraft to do the filming so the camera operator has taken everything just in case. The main thing is that he has charged all the batteries as there is no mains up there!

Watch this space....
