I'll say it again, nice ones Paul. Especially the 9th (2nd to last) one, with the hazy shadows over the ranges there...

Well ... I love the last one! Nice angle - and great colouring!

Awesome! That is one mean looking bird! The last one is the pick of the bunch for me

Like the cropping which places the plane slightly offcentre.
Really interesting sky textures...amazing what the eye will allow:

This a piece out of context from #9.
You wouldn't normally think of this as a sky colour huh?

Havent tried them yet! - yeah not sure about the sky colour yet - but you might get that colour at sunset in the summer??? Its been so long since I have seen any sunset (or any sun) though!

You've been busy lately Paul. Your shots reminded me of a bit of aviation art, right down to the sky, so I went digging in the archives...

Wow yes - that looks great! - looks like I should try some formation shots - but I have something else planned.........

Wasnt that the operational debut (somewhat disastorous) of the Avenger?
