As I was sitting in the lounge of our holiday home in Westward Ho! I heard a plane and then saw this plane flying overhead just above the rooftops. It flew over towards Instow where there is a Royal Marine training camp. The plane did a circle round at least five times and I managed to get a whole sequence of shots. It was only when I put it on the PC did I see the under carriage which was open with two men standing by a large box? I think they must have been training dropping things from the plane. When we stay in Instow we often see day and night manoeuvres training for beach landings - we think. There were no markings on the plane and I really have no idea what they were doing? It was exciting though!! LOL!!
Best on black. I have cropped right in to try to show you the men standing inside the plane. Not something you see every day!!
@golftragic it was! I get easily excited! Lol! I thought at first it was going to land in the sea or even crash land - I have a vivid imagination! Thankfully it was safe and just out for a joyride!
@carolmw Just checked Wikipedia about Braunton Burrows (other side of estuary from Northam Burrows) and there is a Military section. It makes very interesting reading and they mention the RAF using Lockheed C-130 Hercules for training exercises. I think you are right and it is a Hercules!! Thanks!!
