Spec Comp - Oct '12 A-10 & Book Prize from Neil Dunridge

Post by Mike » Thu Oct 11, 2012 6:47 pm

This months subject is: The A-10 Thunderbolt II

Any photo of an A-10 is allowed. If you have any doubt, please feel free to ask a member of staff! :)

Sadly, the withdrawal of Europe's final A-10 unit has begun with the aircraft of the 81st FS/52nd FW, Spangdahlem, Germany being ferried back to the USA. To commemerate it, this competition is being run along with a special prize give away!

This months competition is kindly sponsored by Neil Dunridge who will be giving away a copy of his book "A-10 Thunderbolt II: 21st Century Warthog" to the first place winner.

3. The photo can be taken wherever, whenever and however you like.
4. The competition will remain open until 23.59 on the 1st November 2012.
