Damn graham, I don't know about you but I was nervous as hell for you.
That sideways drifting over the water and in close to those trees had me clenching.
Remember the mantra, "Keep moving forward".
At least you can see what you are gonna hit.
The second part around the digger was los right?

Correct on all points
The sideways was due to me being eaten alive by midges:) I tried LOS to finish off the battery, and gave up after that as the midges were so bad i was getting eaten alive:)

Nice flying Graham, I know what those bloody midges are like on the west side of scotland... Had some bad experiences myself years ago when we were in caravan near Ben nevis....
