Of course the other shot you need is of the MTB 71 convoy full speed ahead to the Coastal Forces Museum. Fat chance of that on one camera, as the last time we saw the convoy with MTB 71 was when they crossed a bridge to get onto the motorway. After that we’d had it for stopping and shooting – nothing’s more likely to attract the attentions of traffic police, which means possibly a fine, certainly a delay as they tick you off. Dangerous anyway, as you can only use the hard shoulder to set up (scary) or a bridge (hard to get the right one but by chance we managed it.) So – step forward Andy Jones to be second camera, standing by at the gates of Priddy’s Hard – tight on the budget but it just squeezed in.
…AND CAPTURE EN ROUTE
