I have been given to understand that they are prone to catching fire, especially when its dark!
Probably the Lithium batteries!! :biggrin: :biggrin:

Na! The bird would be long gone before the second flash went off!! :eek:

Anyway, he puts up with most things that 'grow' on the side of his stream, but there are limits!! :jump: :jump:

I love the one on the right that has been set fire to. Someone got caught on a temporary Gatso camera on the M5 a few years ago so he planned a counter attack. From the roundabout at Exeter the police have cameras on extremely high poles to see up and down the motorway and recorded the following. Two blokes get out of a van, sawed the Gatso off its metal column and through the whole lot off the bridge into he estuary! They even taped their plates up to remain annoymous, it was on the news.

We could put a speed limit along the stream and if the Kingfisher exceeds the speed................. :jump:

I think I am buying one of those on HP. I have already chipped in £180 in the last five years. How much will I have to give them before I can keep it?
I suppose you need one of those Gatma lenses for the small stuff?

Standard Gatso cameras cost (in 2006) £34,000
