Pitts Special..

I used to watch guys practising aerobatics in these in front of our house when I was a kid.

Best wishes,

Charlie

What is it?

It's a Pitts Special aerobatic biplane, taken from above as as semi-abstract.

Oh, right. Thanks.

What's the wrinkled stuff behind the thing that must be the cockpit?

Charlie -

Excellent play of shapes and lines.

Charlie, love it. Is this the DMR?

Andy, Stu and Ben,

Thanks for your comments. This was taken with my DMR 28-90 asph at the Science Museum in London and converted in LR1.3.

A wing; that's why it is in the museum.

Oh yeah Charlie.
Got this one figured out

My only question is...
What's the Visa Card doing there stuck on what I think is the wing?

Sorry,

Azzo,

It's a cut out above the cockpit, so the pilot can see above his head for aerobatic formation flying.
