Lovely Canuck Hornets, but what's with the watermark?

[McG]

Thanks Tony,

I'd had these up on my wesbite when they were slightly more news worthy - hence the additional watermarks, I've now updated them.

Lovely selection Mark.

I cant even get my camera to focus on anything at Night but your shot is very nice!

[McG]

Thanks Rich,

Exif info was 7D, ISO2500, 1/50th sec, F2.8 300mm.

Sorry to be daft, but is that a gatlin gun on the C17 just forward of the right hand under carrage. If so i was unaware of such a modification however if would be a good one
