Colourful Coningsby's April Specials

Post by Kevin Martin »

With Coningsby getting a little more colourful, I've managed to squeeze in 3 afternoon visits in the hope of catching some or all of them in action.

All of played ball so far and I even managed to catch a brief view of the next even more colourful Typhoon due to appear very soon....

All photo's were taken on the afternoons/evenings of 2nd, 9th or 14th April

Thanks for looking,

Kevin

A great collection from just three afternoon visits - love the range of angles and the subtly different light levels throughout the collection.

Cor... can't wait to see that Typhoon topside with a Spit! :drool:

Wonderful set there Kev. Looks like you were moving about through the day so no wonder we didn't bump into each other. The black tail scheme is the bizz though. :rock:
