Re: 100th Anniversary Italian Air Force - March 28 - Rome
Nice shots, if anyone's to blame for the messy look of first photo, it's the 1 and the first 0 that are a bit ragged / loose rather than the 346's

Re: Stansted 19/09
nice photos, a slightly pedantic point but shouldn't your records state '82-8000' for the VC25?
