Westbury Cement Works

The Final Chapter

So we were back in the cement works this afternoon and we got some pretty spectacular video with the Inspire and also the Phantom 4. And one thing is for sure, we will have plenty of video to sort through when this is all over!
The Inspire behaved perfectly today and the weather was also perfect. After consulting the guys working for Cuddy about how close we could get to their machines, we positioned the Inspire close (but not too close) to the machine in the above picture. It was impressive to see this beast in action and film it at close distance munching metal work as if it were paper!
The icing on the cake today though was watching the young Peregrines flying around and playing on the wing. It's great to see that all three of this years chicks are doing so well.
Myself an Andy would like to thank all of the guys at Cuddy for their cooperation and we look forward to more action tomorrow.
