A few of the old girls,

Thanks for looking. Jim

I knew this would get me on Saturday and it did. Big time. My Granddad who was in the Army in WWII, and spent a lot of time in France, Belgium and Germany behind enemy lines, passed away last Tuesday and I was kind of dreading this part of the show, but at the same time looking forward to it as I always do, anyway, the commentator did such a good job with the narration :ymapplause:

:ymapplause:

that I just felt such an immense rush of pride and proudness, that I just couldn't help myself and as they were all coming into land, I just cried and cried and had to sit back in my chair for a few minutes to compose myself!

Those are some stunning and very evocative images

Your emotion is very understandable Snailrfc.

The photos were, however, slightly tainted by this one.......

It pays to advertise!!!!!

What happened to the EADS BF109, RED7, did you not get a decent shot of her?

I had the perfect plot for me, set up was firing away all day, just as I panned the 109, i got it in shot ready to fire at my photopoint.................some spanner had got in front and jumped on his step ladders

. Shot lost. Thought it would have done a bit of a demo/solo though. Got it on Sunday just turned for finals,
