This dramatic picture, taken by Paul Wright of Cosford Powered Flying Club, was taken high above Shropshire's Long Mynd, apparently showing a gorse fire billowing in the wind.

The blaze yesterday was one of a couple of weekend grass fires in the region.

Firefighters were called to deal with two embankment fires along the Severn Valley Railway, at Upper Forge, near Bridgnorth, and at Hampton Loade.
