Nice to get the artwork one airborne. Out of interest where was this shot from Dunfield crash gate maybe?

Have to agree with everyone else's comments- great shots of a truly iconic aircraft. Will be a very sad day when/if they finally disappear to be replaced by those awful drones. Progress I suppose!
