Absolutely first class!
Thanks for sharing your excellent captures

That Spanish Harrier shot is very nostalgic, nicely done.

many thanks for the kind comments, I was rather pleased with the Harrier photo, B&W often works well.
Sorry I've been a bit slow replying, been very busy with a familty bereavement and not been looking on here much.
