Cheers Tonks

Brilliant pics, but oddly my favourite is the top one :excited:

It says so much about "Being up there".....the scale and the message of mans conquest of the skies........that one is real art :)

Yep.. No.1 is a perfect example of just how big 'up there' is. I've a similar shot on the cover of a book which, searching through my library (the floor) seems to have gone walkabout :lol: The subject (a Lancaster) is centred in the shot and taken from above and behind. Very emotive like No.1 ;)

Absolutely fantastic, thank you!

No 1 Shot could win you a prize or at least a pick of the day at airliners.net...

Cheers,
