In my case whenever I take a picture of a plane a load of reaper supporters get in the way. Nice haircuts though

But of course nobody actually took a picture - right? this aircraft does not have a 'D' on the fin therefore it was out of bounds!

Man - I look like a monk! What is this grey round the sides and dark on top lark! - the skunk look?

Keep them coming - I am sure there are more - Mark has some corkers!
