Glorious set of images young man! A very story told here and I must agree with Westlands day. Just the one dodgy image in the middle of an old chap but nonetheless, all mouth watering. Save that image....it might become a collector item soon. Merry Xmas sir. Lol

Yeap.... The low-down scrapyard trackers, very dirty Harrier, B-2 finals and the Blue Japan Phantom! Those are my favourites.. Looks like you had yourself quite a bit of travelling as well. Excellent set!
