Your usual high standard, Brian. My pick of an excellent set is the SBLim. Was it in formation with another aircraft? It has a yellow reflection on the underside of the fuselage that makes it appear so.
Cheers,

Was supposed to fly with the Fury (Korean War) but that was broken and the yellow reflection is the green grass that turned brown with a bit of hot weather we were having at the time.
