Andy's Wave Photos

...from two flights to 8,400' and 19,800' at Aboyne, Scotland, April 1999

Early morning wave to the east of Aboyne:

Deeside:

Heather burning scars:

Lots of bright reflections and not much else!:

Cirrus showing some high-level wave?:

The town of Ballater from about 8,000 feet:

Wave leading edge bulging up in front of the glider:

Another glider just below, into the sun:

A classic medium-level lenticular cloud:

Lenticular stacks in the far north-east:

Two gliders, one almost invisible (ringed):

Classic wave undulations and slots:

More morning wave before the next flight:

Vega cockpit - going up nicely:

A nice long slot:

Too bright, into the sun:

Nearly 18,000 feet, slots clearly evident in the wave:

Snow-capped mountains beneath the wave:

A huge wave bar covering Lochnagar, from 19,500 feet:

The valley of the Dee seen through this large slot:

There's nowhere safe to land on top of this mountain!:

Meeting someone (top right), on the way down:

Planning to go down through the slot on the left:

12,200' on the way down, with cold feet, at 100 knots:

Just about to dive through the slot on the left, and the film ran out:
