Second day of Ron's Cross-country week was scrubbed due to low cloudbases and incredibly poor visibility. However the day was not lost as the airfield was kept busy all day with a film crew.
Atlantic Productions working for Sky 3D and IMAX were making a film called Flying Monsters starring Sir David Attenborough and several Pterosaurs. The production team brought in a DG1000 from Lasham, a Husky tug from Nympsfield and a Twin Squirrel camera platform from Denham. G Dale from Lasham flew Sir David and his stunt double (Pete Stapleton) in the DG1000, whilst ground shots took place in our DG505. Air-to- air filming was possible in the clearer sky above the inversion. It was a very long day starting at 6am and eventually packing the hangar at 9pm, thanks to all the helpers.
