Located in Dorset, we primarily cover the South of England, but can undertake projects nationwide. The system we use is a 50ft telescopic mast to elevate a camera at the desired height, controlled from a laptop at ground level, which enables the capture of images from a wide area, making it suitable for a variety of services.
Why the Poppy?
A writer first made the connection between the poppy and battlefield deaths during the Napoleonic wars of the early 19th century, remarking that fields that were barren before battle exploded with the blood-red flowers after the fighting ended.
Stone Circle found at Child Okeford Dorset. A few years ago while flying over Child Okeford my pilot pointed out the stone circle. After many searches around Hambeldon Hill I came across the stone circle.
All Saints church is set at one of the highest points in Dorset from which views can be seen on clear days of the Needles and the Isle of Wight.
The church comprises a chancel and nave and appears to date from the 13th century. It was partly rebuilt in the 16th century and extensively repaired in 1702. This church has the most completely preserved 18th centruy interior of any Dorset church.
A future project, as long as the weather stays dry and sunny! watch this space.
Ibsley Control Tower.Ibsley was a very busy RAF airfield in the last great war. It was the location for a morale-boosting wartime movie starring David Niven, and was taken over by the Americans in 1943. Ibsley played a major role in the D-Day invasion. It survived for precious few years, the airfield having been lost, almost entirely, to gravel abstraction. All that is left is a ruined control tower surrounded by lakes.
After our visit to Abbey House Gardens in June, we came back to photograph the Gardens in July.
Hullavington RAF Base. Still used for training by the MOD. Army camp next to airfield. Not much more information. Just passing by in the car and noticed these large hangers covered in grass.Private land.
Ibsley airfield was the first of the airfields built in the Avon valley of Hampshire and the only fighter station in the area to have asphalt-surfaced runways. It was originally surveyed before the war but passed over until approved as a satellite and forward base for RAF Middle Wallop during 1940.
The origin of the Westbury White Horse is obscure. It is often claimed to commemorate King Alfred’s victory at the Battle of Eðandun in 878, and while this is not impossible, there is no trace of such a legend before the second half of the eighteenth century. It should also be noted that the battle of Eðandun has only tentatively been identified with Edington in Wiltshire.
The Tank Museum houses the world’s best collection of tanks. Bovington has been home to the tank since its invention in World War One and the Royal Armoured Corps are still based here today. 
Fort Henry – Studland.
Final part of my seasons return to Furzey Gardens. Last year we arrived late July 2008 to take photographs of the Gardens and buildings. It was a lovely sunny day and we spent most of the day there. May of this year we returned to unsettled weather. Day one was sunny at first till it clouded over. Day two was over cast all day. The Garden was in full bloom with pinks, reds and many more colours. Hope to return again soon 
Hillier Gardens:
Experience the magic of this unique 18th century Mill situated in the heart of the North Dorset Downs. One of the main features of this historic wedding venue is the beautiful lake and landscaped gardens, with natural springs and lakeside walks. 
Shaftesbury Abbey project. Photographs of the Abbey taken from mast in the next few weeks.
Peak Cavern (The Devil’s Arse!) is the source of the village river, Peakshole Water and as such it is the only Cavern that has to be closed during the winter due to flooding. In the mouth of the cave, the largest in Britain, rope makers use to live and work. Their cottages have been demolished but 'rope walks' are still to be found.
Castleton is an outstandingly pretty village situated at the head of the lovely Vale of Hope, in the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District National Park. It is surrounded on 3 sides by steep hills and the mighty bulk of Mam Tor looms high, 2 miles to the north west of the village. On a hill, overlooking Castleton, is the ancient Peveril Castle.
Shillingstone Station Dorset was opened on the 31 august 1863 by the London and South Western Railways. The station was transferred to the Southern Railway at the Grouping of 1923, becoming part of the southern region of British Railways when the railways were nationalized in 1947, the station was closed when the S&DJR closed on 7th march 1966.The station was staffed until its closure in March 1966.
The Royal Navy Cordite Factory, Holton Heath, (RNCF), was set up at Holton Heath, Dorset in World War 1 to manufacture Cordite for the Royal Navy. It was reactivated in World War II to manufacture gun propellants for the Admiralty. After the end of World War II, the explosive manufacturing areas of the site were closed down. A major part of the explosives site became a nature reserve in 1981.
I’m also having an interest in local history. While on my travels I have always been interested what went on behind the fence at Black Hill Holton Heath.
