With the promise of DRS 47s on the Lowestoft Airshow drags and the normal saturday Great Yarmouth drags Steve Gandy and I decided to head East to the flatlands, we were joined by Callum Hayes for these events. With a promising forecast we boldly went in search of locations at Reedham, Haddiscoe, Somerlayton, Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth. What started well went rapidly down hill when the sun decided to sulk and hide away after the first trains. We then suffered torrential rain... before losing the sun just before the train.....
On the saturday the same thing occurred sun and cloud with the result being Sun 1 cloud 2. To add insult to injury we stood at the Cattledock braving ladybird infestations to watch the sun come and go before going and then having to watch the 25 min late train roar past us..... on the other line to Acle! The soundtrack on the videos will be interesting.... bleepers anyone? We then suffered the wait to find out if NEX-EA would live up to their reputation of cancelling the drags at the drop of a hat, which of course they did!. So enjoy the shots of a day that promised much and delivered frustration and summer weather in equal measures! |
