Would it be wrong to say it’s usually old people that carry around these sort of boxy super-zoom cameras? The Wallace Arnold coach pulls up in the car park, then all the old people come out holding the expensive ultra-zooms  they were pressure-sold in Jessops because Jessops had loads left no one else wanted?

They’re so heavy she’s had to utilise the neck straps in case her arms give way. It’s reassuring that safety was put first, but also a shame that she wasn’t trusted – or prepared – to go fully strapless.

She’s attempting a synchronised fly-by with the landing gear on display to thrill the enthusiasts in the crowd, but it looks like the cameras are seconds away from a collision. Let’s hope those straps are sturdy – they will be required very soon unless the left hand performs an extremely hard banking manoeuvre.
