We actually thought she was either landing or going to do a roller (touch & go) but instead just did an approach and climb out, so yes she was a tad low. :D

Thanks for all the comments :) I am sure those who know what they are doing with cameras will have some better ones than mine, if my video ever gets loaded you will see what I cannot do with a camcorder :(

Here it is in all its not glory but its the best I could do

No idea :p I was so busy trying to work the camcorder and keep 558 in view and when I lost 558 behind whoever it was, I lost her for a bit, tried to edit that bit out of the video but it went all odd so left well alone.
