Quality as usual Stuart! Like the ones from Greenham 77 and the 104 taboggan! These look as though they could have been taken yesterday!

Cheers

Hi,
That first shot depicts everything I loved about the Starfighter.
A fantastic set of images brought back memories of that growl on take off.
All the best
