Default Last of the many..

.. Lancasters. I believe there are only two airworthy examples in the world, one on each side of the Atlantic. I've been waiting a while to get a good shot of this. Never had the right weather for the flying displays until last weekend at Goodwood (or RAF Westhampnett as it was in the war).

Absolutely terrific and a wonderful momento. Thanks for putting this up, I think you'll get a lot of admiring comments.

Beautiful plane excellently captured.

Charlie -

Gorgeous, perfect moment and angle. I think this one too could benefit from some punching up, but I may have gone too far here....

Charlie,
Not quite as sharp as your fabulous Hurricane shot but the inclusion of the tree makes it for me. You can see the pilot's white leather glove and (unfortunately) the modern bone-dome helmets.
