Never film during the Farnborough Air Show

...unless of coarse your doing a war movie (which given the extent of planes above our heads on fleet pond sounds like a good plan for two years time)

So it was bad planning on my behalf (being the producer and scheduling dates). Sadly the Farnborough air show decided to arrange their dates at the exact time we had arranged to shoot on Fleet Pond, or it could have been the other way around.

The quote "don't worry we'll fix it in the edit" was one used alot over the last three days shoot. The Red Arrows preformed their display literary feet over our heads, the noise was constant, the sky filled with vapour trails, many shots ruined.

Sadly for a 16th Century Period Drama the roar of a jet engine doesn't go down well on set that represents "the new world". None the less filming continued and below are some shots from that day of everyone at work.

A big thank you to all the extras who made it possible! - Hopefully we'll see you all on the 3rd!

And a huuuge thank you to mum who provided all the food, and did lots of running around, without it, the day would not have run smoothly

p. s - (don't worry everyone, I’ve looked over the rushes and despite some noise pollution, the shots are brilliant and it will add a week to sound editing, but it will all be fine :-D )
