Lovely shots Mike, some brilliant light and weather for once, your chasing paid off well. I like the first shot alot, and the last one looks great, almost as if you are Air To Air!

Nice one. I wish I went to the Downs for Sunday's 6pm Launch, I think I missed some great shots :( - Ah well, you win some, you loose some.
