Nice!

Interesting read, sad thing is I was at Coningsby the day that photo was taken and completely missed both EB-Gs being on the wash pan together :( :( :(

I did however catch them both on the wash pan at seperate times of the day :) :) :)

Up to now I have only prosessed the shots of Spitfire EB-G
