Video and Film Clips

Video clips will be placed here. It's a bit advanced for the poor old crew of Electron and the technology is baffling to the webmaster too! Be patient and if you have trouble or issues viewing then mail the webmaster.

Comments to the webmaster please. A whole season of video has been completed - should we do it next year? Skip has the idea of fitting a yaw gimble for the camera so the horizon should stay close to the horizontal. Comment would be appreciated!

Come back soon or email webmaster to be included in a Web Site update notification mailing list
