A PANORAMIC photograph of the River Thames in flood at Goring has been captured from 1,500ft.
Dennis Pearson, who owns and runs the Chiltern Park Aerodrome, near Woodcote, took the image on his mobile phone as he flew over the village in a microlight on Boxing Day.
During the 50-minute pleasure trip, he followed the river upstream above Mapledurham, Whitchurch, Goring and South Stoke before heading back.
The image shows the flooded fields at Gatehampton, behind the houses in Manor Road, after the river level rose following heavy rain.
There was also minor flooding in places along the Berkshire bank and on the fields to the west of South Stoke.
