Very nice. They certainly woke me up on take off this morning! 01 didnt yesterday, he must have been on silent running as the wind was in the same direction!

Very nice. You've certainly captured the menacing appearance of the Stratofortress! Were the first three taken from the north side crash gate? Many thanks.

Pure class Nick, well done
Number 7 (buff 02 arrival), looks like it flew a bit too low and has taken a few house roofs off with their chimney pots, on it's right wing
