Hi Doug...!
Excellent photographs of some real aeronautical animals...

...!
Regarding the sun...We have the same problem at Shobdon Airfield.
The runway runs East to West and the viewing area is North of the runway....
so...
We are always facing due South....right into the Sun...

...!
...almost impossible to take aerial photo's on a bright sunny day...

...!
...never mind...better than fog and rain...

...!
LOL...!

P.S. Just been looking at the clearance between the prop and the ground on the Corsair....

...!
...got to be really careful when lifting the tail-end up, during the take-off roll...

(The usual tail-dragger problem)...!
LOL...
