An explanation

Thank you Nismar for your comments.

All my aircraft photos are taken at Bristol Filton Airfield, U.K. unless

it says other wise in the daily blog title.

The photos of the aircraft landing at Filton are taken from the A38

road that passes near the end of the runway.

All my photos are taken from out side the airfield boundry wire.

Thank you for reminding me that I forgot to fill in the photo details.

Fishing the Cottage / WOT NO FISH

Went down to Portishead and fished a spot called the Cottage

This car carrying ship, "Autopremier", passed by inbound to Royal Portbury Dock.

A strong wind from left to right was blowing and made casting difficult.

This is usually a good Conger spot but I think they were all staying at home

as I caught nothing not even a bite.

This is a Liquid Patrolium Gas, "Marina", carrying vessel

heading to Avonmouth docks.

I dont know where this one was going.
