... wow, looks stunning. At first I tought you would have recreated the whole parade with little plastic kits.

Is the background blurred because your knees were shacking 30m above ground in the cherry picker By the way, did you take a close up pic of my Blitz from up there?

... sorry Radek, there weren't any Austin Ambulances. These are 4 Blitz Ambulances Possibly the biggest Blitz Ambulance gathering since WW2

... here's another "aerial" view of a Blitz mob. I took it standing on the roof of another of these rare beauties (with owners permission).

I didn't have a wideangle lens so these three show the whole lot.
Thanks has to go to the Corowa Shire who supplied the cherry-picker and two staff to operate it on a weekend.
Regards Rick.
