RWC 2015 Final - Red Arrows Fly Past

StorksRock was tipped off they were coming at ParkRun this morning, so then it was just a question of working out where to take the shot from. RWC websites said they were coming over trafalgar square, richmond fanzone then HQ so that sorted the direction as being roughly east to west.  I wanted them with the stadium and in the end went for the footbridge over the A316 which gives you a slightly elevated view to see over the houses. I think the best view would have been from the police helicopter (which had to move out the way). Also the planes stopped taking off from Heathrow for 5-10 mins which was nice. Not many things that can stop Heathrow - but the red arrows are one.

Round to B & J to watch the game -I swung between wanting Australia to lose and wanting New Zealand to lose :-) In the end the best side on the day and the best side over the tournament won.
