Cheers. Yes, Luckily I had my digital camera so I just got it out and took this. Tried holding it still as much as possible, but when they really started to take off, it was hard to stand still. You may have seen grass flying about aswel.They only just got the call so I think they were plotting, double checking and then getting ready for take off before actually taking off. The other pilot hadnt got in either: they may have just been warming it up or something aswel.
