Hi Dan,

The first shot is the best shot of a Sentry I have seen very evocative and sure would look good on the wall. You must be pleased with that one.

Regards
Rob

Well Dan, they are all fantastic photos for me. You might guess that this is one of my most favourite a/c types (from a long list). A balanced, beautiful and enigmatic aircraft will be sadly missing from the Lincolnshire skies.
(Again). Thankyou for capturing the moment so well.
