Aintree Racecourse (Grand National Day) 14-04-2012

A visit to Aintree for the helicopters associated with the racing going on, with the highlight of the days fixtures being the Grand National. The vantage point where the helicopters can be viewed either climbing out on 09 or turning finals for 27 is on an area of public 'waste' land by Beechers Brook jump where along with the helicopters you can see the jump. It should be noted that the helicopters are projected against the sky, so you're very dependant on there being a good standard of light!
