    RARE Barnes Wallace Duck

    Hi

    Whilst at Barnes WWT on Sunday with Rob (HHCanon), we caught site of a very rare Barnes Wallis Duck...
    Luckily, (skillfully), I caught the moment for us all to enjoy...

    It's one of the most graceful Ducks around!

    Hope you enjoyed it!

              nice one Mike. Was there any collateral damage ?

                Cracker; the title had me fooled until I looked at the images... well done.

                The last one will make a GREAT image IMO cropped & straightened! Maybe for the next PI comp ?????

                Cheers;

                  would look look great in a film strip.

                          Some good shots here. They are difficult to get right, as I know to my cost. From my research into these Barnes Wallis ducks, I believe that earlier models tended to explode on landing. Hee! Hee!

                            JJ, I think this is the mkII duck, which had the timing mechanism fixed!
