Stunning Sunset

Firstly, let me apologise for the lack of posting for the last ten days or so. Last week was half term, so I went home but my laptop's power supply failed and I've essentially been without a computer for a while now. Anyway, I've borrowed my mums until mine is fixed. On the downside, I have few photographs on here.

Panorama South From Snowdon

My laptop has officially gone to Silicone Heaven, which means all my pictures are not available. Hopefully, the techies in the shop can fix it, otherwise I'm a tad stuffed. Anyhoo, because of my somewhat unreliable posting recently, I felt obliged to post an old image or two until I get it back.

Today's image was taken back in 2005, when I had my bike, lived in North Wales, and generally farted around snapping random things on random rides! 

Good times! On one trip I rode up Snowdon, and parked up at the bottom of Miners Track and looked south. This is what I saw.

Cirrus SR22 GTS

On a trip to RAF Duxford a while ago I spied this rather nice Cirrus. It's an SR22 GTS, and is a US registered plane. Empty, it weighs in at just over a ton (1009kg) and has a useful load of 553kg. It can climb at a rate of 1400 ft/min (426 m/min), with a maximum operating altitude of 17,500 ft (5,334 m). it has a maximum cruise speed of 185 knots and at 55% power has a maximum range (With reserve) of 1170 nm (2166 km).

Been away!

Sorry for the lack of posts, I had to go away for a few days but normal service shall be resumed asap

:o)
