These photos show the arrival of the Olympic flame from Athens on British soil. The flame was transported on flight BA 2012 to RNAS Culdrose (HMS Seahawk) near Helston, Cornwall. The military air base was allocated the three letter airport identifier CDR for the purposes of this special flight.
All of these photos were taken with my 300mm telephoto lens from beyond the razor wire perimeter fence; where I was standing on a handy hedge along with several thousand others who had also gathered to watch the arrival.
