Not really sure how to take that. I am happy with them as it is the first time I have every managed to get shots like this. Quite how my description gives any impression of anything I am not sure

I always dread photo posts with "my first photo.." in the title. But not these! Superb shots, I really like the spinning engine fan in the near head on shots.

As for blakey, well he's like that so dont take him to heart.

Just wondering if the one you were after was Number 7 - which I think is terrific...

If I manage to come away from Cottesmore with a shot like #8 I shall be a happy man. Until I remember the Harrier is retiring!
