Walking through Lea Park on my way to a mate's BBQ and playing with the stabilizer. It's fun but really, it's more like go easy on the LSD dude. LOL
I just wish I could adjust how it responds, oh well, I guess that's what DeShaker is for.

Remembrance Sunday 2019 Poppy drop *updated video available (see description below)*
Updated video available here:
Photo & video from the Remembrance Sunday 2019 Poppy drop by Aero legends over the Battle of Britain memorial.

The event was not very well planned, in that they had not considered so many people would hear about the event.
From my experience this was somewhat naïve, however they managed to carry on with what I believe was a fair workaround.
I understood the drop was to be on/over the memorial as a closed event, however the publicly and interest drew WELL over 1000 people to the site and along the white cliffs.
I believe for safety reasons the work round meant dropping poppies around the area and not directly over the memorial and the gathered crowds below. This they did.
You can see in many of my photos there is a continued light trail of poppies, these were not easily seen from the ground.
I personally checked the websites of the battle of Britain memorial & Aero legends (who I also emailed) and there were no warnings or instructions.
I understand there had been some posted late on social media mind you.
So considering the situation and planning hiccup, They managed to pull something off, so respect to them for that.
The Dakota “Drag Em Oot” was dropping the poppies was also carrying five veterans including three former RAF servicemen who served during World War II. it was flanked by two spitfires, trailing behind was what I believe was a Harvard.
Our video slideshow is accompanied with sound to add atmosphere taken from Daks over Duxford video.
At the end are some video from the drop & photos of the now operational statue called Every One Remembered, that is by sculptor Mark Humphreys who created the work for the royal British legion.

Places to see in ( Great Missenden - UK )
Great Missenden is an affluent village with approximately 2,000 residents in the Misbourne Valley in the Chiltern Hills in Buckinghamshire, England, situated between the towns of Amersham and Wendover, with direct rail connections to London Marylebone. It closely adjoins the villages of Little Kingshill, Little Missenden and the larger village Prestwood. The narrow and historic High Street is bypassed by the main A413 London to Aylesbury Road. It is located in the heart of The Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The source of the Misbourne is to be found just north of the village, although the upper reach of the river runs only in winter and the perennial head is in Little Missenden. The village is now best known as home to the late Roald Dahl, the world famous author.
In 2011, The Guardian featured an article referring to how the village has been prime stockbroker belt for over a century and remarked favourably on its ancient churches, beech woods, deep valleys, rolling Chiltern Hills, higgledy-piggledy streets. That's why Dahl chose to live here. The paper also mentions its grand piles tucked away in the folds of the Chilterns, all paddocks, ponies and leafy lanes, such as Dahl's, Martinsend Lane, or Nags Head Lane. The Daily Telegraph, meanwhile, lists Great Missenden in its List of Britain's richest villages. The Telegraph also ranked the village #4 in its Best Places to Raise a Family in the UK 2015 survey, describing it as a gem of a town.
Great Missenden lay on a major route between the Midlands and London. Several coaching inns, particularly the Red Lion (now an estate agency) and The George (which still exists), provided rest and refreshment for travellers and their horses. The first railway line in the area was, however, routed alongside the Grand Union Canal to the east. Once the coaches stopped running Great Missenden declined in importance and prosperity, becoming an agricultural village. Following the arrival of the Metropolitan Railway, (later the London Underground's Metropolitan line) in 1892, Great Missenden became a commuter village for London with writers, entertainers and even Prime Ministers among the passengers. Great Missenden railway station is now on the Chiltern Railways line and offers fast services running into London Marylebone.
The village is overlooked by the medieval Church of England parish church of St. Peter and St. Paul and the High Street is also home to the thriving Catholic Church of The Immaculate Heart of Mary, one of the largest Catholic churches in the Chiltern District. The position of the parish church away from the village centre, however, suggests an earlier settlement around the church with a move of the village's heart to its present location in the early Middle Ages. In the twelfth century Great Missenden was granted a charter allowing it to hold an annual Fair in August. Missenden Abbey, founded in 1133 as an Augustinian monastery, was ruined following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and the remains were incorporated into a Georgian mansion which is now a conference centre.
Places in Great Missenden parish include :
Ballinger, located to the north east of Great Missenden, between Lee Common and Ballinger Common
Ballinger Bottom, located to the north east of Great Missenden, near South Heath
Ballinger Common, located to the north east of Great Missenden, near Ballinger

London walk: Golden Hinde to St Paul’s Cathedral via Clink Street Prison Museum, the Globe Theatre, Tate Modern, Millennium Bridge and the First Date’s Restaurant at Paternoster Square
40-minute walk
Join me for an Autumn walk along Bankside, the Medieval ‘unruly’ area of London, as we stroll from Sir Francis Drake’s Golden Hinde to end up at Christopher Wren’s St Paul’s Cathedral. On the way we take in Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre for which he wrote many of his plays, Clink Street’s notorious prison (now a museum, don’t worry), the Anchor Inn from where Samuel Pepys reputedly watched the Great Fire of London and the Tate Modern, home to much contemporary art. Crossing the Millennium Bridge gives us a direct view towards St Paul’s Cathedral up Peter’s Hill and we take a peek at the First Date’s Restaurant in it’s ‘everyday’ guise of the Paternoster Chop House, before ending the walk chatting to an interested stranger on the Waterloo and City Line about the pros and cons of the Osmo Pocket.

Aylesbury News, Thame Wants To Put Its Stocks Back
If you've always fancied throwing some sponges or the odd tomato at someone in the stocks, Thame might be able to help sometime soon.
That's because the Town Council are actually looking at bringing them back, saying it could be a good tourism move.
So they want to know what people think about a new set of stocks being commissioned for Thame.
They think it would be a welcome addition to the town centre and could be used for community events.
In the Thame Town newsletter, they write:
Cllr Bretherton is a Trustee of Thame Museum and a keen historian.
He has recently undertaken some research and discovered the Statute of Labours Act of 1405, an Act that required every town and village to maintain a set of stocks in which to punish vagabonds, layabouts and drunkards.
Should a town not posses a set, it would be downgraded to a hamlet and would lose its right to hold a market or fair.
Stocks should not be confused with a pillory; stocks hold the feet at a low level whereas a pillory was for the head and hands.
The use of the pillory was abolished in England in 1837 but being placed in the stocks is still legal in this country and there is no evidence that the statute of 1405 has even been repealed.

ithame, is a mobile information point for residents, visitors and businesses to the historic market town of Thame in Oxfordshire, England. ithame is the world's first application for a town and is a unique service providing access to a vast source of useful and relevant information about thame, on the move.
