Great entries as usual and good to see lots of different takes on the theme.

Notable mentions for Pete's snowy Strike Eagle, Tony's retirement Phantom, Dean's Colombian tanker, Niall's water bombing Herc, but there has to be a winner.....

....and I've gone for Sarah's Vulcan shot from Beachy Head, so over to you, Sarah!

Wow, thank you, wasn't expecting that with the quality of the other entries.

I'll have a think about a new theme and post the new comp up tomorrow.
