Wonderful shots Craig. I need an EOS300D! ;D

Superb photography - the Avro Tutor is stunning!

We'll forgive you for not recognising the DH Comet, you know the nice red one from FS9!!! ;) ;D

That'll do nicely. I can even recognise who he is. :D

Don't worry on my account. I told you this time it's all down to you. Maybe I can start taking it easy & watch the show. :P ;)

Super shots Craig, sure looks like a good piece of kit you have there. The clarity on the pilot's face is stunning.

looks like you all had a good day weather wise.

Hum....yeah, wonder why  ::)

Although to be fair it's my favourite too......

Am I very wrong for liking it when it was a clipped wing?  ;)

Those clipped-wing jobs are not proper Spitfires.

Except when do low-altitude killing, then they are allowed ;D

In fairness its all the maker of "Pearl Harbo(u)r's" fault. Unfortunately the Chief Pilot prefers it with them on (he told me so himself...) and they've never been removed since.

A better roll rate without wingtips too...

Good for him & long may he continue to be chief pilot. I always compared clipping those wings with attacking them with a hacksaw. Vandalism which spoils the perfect silhouette of arguably the most beautiful & recognisable aeroplane ever designed. It must also affect the aerodynamic qualities of that perfect elliptical wing. :P ;)

The Mk V was the favourite of no less a person than Alex Henshaw.
