More aeroplane pictures

I shot some more pictures of the 'plane this morning early. The visibility was improved compared to last Monday, but the ambient light was still a little too dark to get the whole thing in

Shot in ambient light with a green water Magic filter. The pictures were processed in Lightroom 3 beta 2-the noise reduction features are amazing!

Underwater video of Capernwray Aeroplane-straight after sinking!

This is a rough cut of actual footage of G-BVOV underwater at Capernwray. It was shot on Monday 29th March 2010. The crane strops are still in place, and in actual fact, it was still being lowered onto the bottom of the quarry!

Some of this footage was used by Grenada and BBC North West on their evening bulletins.

Capernwray sinks an aeroplane

On Monday 29th, my place of work, Capernwray Diving plan to sink the largest object in a inland dive site in the UK. G-BVOV a Hawker Siddley HS748 passenger airliner will slip (!) under the water. She has a 35m wingspan, and a 30m fuselage and weighs about 9 tons. We have hired the largest crane available in the area to lift her in!

I'll be on hand and in the water to catch this, both on still and video. Non diving spectators are welcome to come and see her last flight-the site will open at 10.00am and the plan is to start the lift at midday.
