MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Apart from Tarquine.... who?

Apart from Tarquine our resident Helicopter pilot, is there anyone else out there with access to one of these machines and has the ability to fly one?

With now in excess of 740 confirmed cars booked to attend Spridget 50 at Gaydon, here is a one off photo opportunity for someone. This spectacle will never be repeated I'm sure. Some overhead shots of the midget and Sprites arriving and parked at the event will be unique!!!!

Can anyone help, think of anyone that can help or know of anyone with a Helicopter (or anything that flies come to that) please....?

Mark.

Hi Mark

I don,t know if you have seen my previous post on this but if allowed it may be possible to get acces to the roof of the museum. If Iam correct and the cars are arranged in a crescent around the building it shouldbe possible to fix a camera on a tripod and take a series of images in an arc and then stitch the images together. I have a photographer friend how has some experiance of doing this sort of thing. It might be worth contacting the museum to see if access to the roof is possible. Another idea I have had is to check out the use of a model helicopter to take aerial shots, I think this is quite a popular thing to do. I shall do a bit of googling when I get a chance.

Good luck Carl

Mine is not flying but I'll post a message to the flying crowd to see if someone can help.

At one of our shows in Florida we enlisted the aid of the local fire department. They supplied an ariel ladder truck and its ladder rose almost 2 hundred feet in the air. As one of our members was a local fireman it was only he that could go up the ladder and take photos. It was a very good series of shots.

Local model aircraft club? I have had aerial photos taken from radio controlled aeromodels before now.
