You can see it but he is panning too fast so you need to pause, here is a screenshot, you see it just on the horizon.

Oldbanger, where are you based?
Good stuff with drone footage. Dived around Bell Light years ago, cracking piece of architecture. On a different west coast trip, techs were doing maint at Skerryvore Light, we gt the tour from bottom to top.
Incidentally and, in keeping with tig thread, I asked tech why there were two standard bottles of argon in galley/kitchen level, which had strange valves fitted. If there is a fire at galley level, valves automatically open, argon floods room, snuffs out fire. All Scottish lights are controlled from their George St HQ, Edinburgh.

agreed.. the drone footage is very good - can't believe the weather that it was filmed in!!! glasgow was decidedly wetter than that yesterday... typical Scottish summer
to answer your question I'm in bishopbriggs... just outside glasgow centre.

Here is a clue
Average rainfall.
bishopbriggs.... I have the lovely wife to thank for is staying over here , she is a Londoner.. an east end girl , she fell in love with the picturesque backdrop that the campsite fella provide our house... also it's one of the few places near town that we could afford to buy a traditional Victorian sandstone house.
.
so I'm just back in the door from work... on my hastily cobbled together table and trying my hand at something a bit thicker than 1mm sheet
I'm guessing 6mm flat bar ... welds are very cold but I'm getting a better feel for laying beads because I don't HAVE to move so quickly

I was showing one of the lads in work your drone video today... he was well impressed with the control WGW had... pretty sure he will be out trying to master his flying technique tonight!Yes too cold but looks like you are getting the hang of the filling, look nice and even as yo get going
it's a number 5 cup... I just thought it may help with my poor gas coverage to focus the argon a bit more???

I will tell him, he will be grinning from ear to ear with pride
Then again when I tell him that everyone knows his WGW moniker he may not be so happy

I like to get the argon spreading out a bit, then again I am used to Alu so it tends to be a wider bead.

Number seven cup is about right for most DC work at these current levels, you'll only need something smaller if you need to reach into a corner or similar.
at the moment it's trial and error for me...
when trying to assemble my torch these gas lenses came with their own insulator.... now maybe I'm being simple but the only way I could make them fit was to use the original wp26 torch insulator and then the one supplied with the lens kinda fit inside it???
like this...
