Beaumont-Hamel, Sunken Lane & Hawthorn Ridge, by Drone
The Sunken Lane, and Hawthorn Ridge Crater near Beaumont-Hamel on the Somme.... some footage taken from my drone in May 2016. The original footage of the men in the Sunken Lane and the Mine exploding, come from a film called The Somme filmed by Geofrey Malins, in 1916. My original plan was to fly the drone right down the lane looking the way the original was filmed, but with the overhanging branches, it just wasn't possible.
